Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

If Jeremy Corbyn is elected leader of the Labour Party, will Harringay get its first Blue Plaque? He was a ward councillor for Harringay and lived in Lausanne Rd.

So far as I can discover, he might favour a Government Of All the Talents.

I think Richard only lives in Harringay because he can't afford Muswell HIll.

Well Dick, with apologies to the late Mercutio, may I say belatedly, "A plaque on both your houses!"

Ward Councillor during a time when private landlords were allowed to get out of control, planning enforcement was non existent and drugs gangs had the run of the place.
That's 'our Jeremy'

Lack of positive opposition serves no one, Harringay was considered edge of the borough and was overlooked for a long time, social media means it's difficult to avoid today. There was a lack of money nationally, and things were only 'getting better' leading up to '97 with economic recovery.
I don't know why planning and urban design are not expanded upon, Hackney through their experience with the Olympics have recruited.
Some cases of landlords are now forced to sell HMO's and are monitored, drug dealers don't have the free reign they had, or is less apparent, apart from the smaller transactions you feel your witnessing from time to time. There isn't enough Met officers to enforce zero tolerance, (and with more cuts,) they rely on us to an extent. More can be done through legislation and a considered strategy to resolve these ongoing issues.
Perhaps it's pure politics and lack of professional expertise that councillors still lack to understand the urban environment, and just basic interaction with residents and local community groups.

From your HoL profile you must have been a wee bairn in the late 1970s? Clearly a very precocious one to be so certain of what Harringay was like then.

Sorry, I was referring to my experience from the 90's, thanks for clearing your reference.
My Dad's cousin was a teacher in Finsbury Park in the 70's, I'll be sure to ask his experience, as I'm interested to hear yours as well.
