Link to Haringey Labour webpage
Residents may wish to check out the above link before the inconvenient truth is discarded. Local apparatchiks could remove the embarrassing emission at any time from today. No April Fool.

I have a firm and well-founded practice of never following your links, Clive. Does this crisis refer to the shortage of carbon that might be available to emit when jetting of on summer holidays? It's causing some concern, but on the bright side, if I'm unable to get away in July, I'll at least be able to see Kanye play in the local park.
Clive, Jamie Harper has parked his harp and caught you with his April Fool joke.
How?
By pretending to be the sort of stubborn ignoramus who makes a point of not reading your carefully researched and useful links. Instead adding to the pretence of April twerpness by typing meaningless twaddle about carbon.
THE current increase in petrol prices at the pump will probably pass.
Until the next time.
One of the failures of the Starmer-Government has been to back-pedal on climate-action, including greater encouragement to switch away from fossil fuels.
Local laissez-faire policies and practice—as evidenced by the council's conservative Highways Department—continue to encourage dependence on oil. Despite the occasional, rare PR for active travel.

Oil price-shocks from international events are beyond the control of any UK government.
Wars, such as Trump's attack on Iran and Putin's invasion of Ukraine are unlikely to be the last such oil and economy-shock events.
Kier Starmer said he would honour the previous Conservatives' North Sea oil prospecting licensing deals, on the basis that this would make the UK energy independent.
This respects the interests of oil companies but disregards that the oil price is set in dollars-per-barrel, globally.
It is also a careless commitment to speeding up and worsening global-warming.
It's now 7 (seven) years since the local council declared a climate emergency. Their climate action plan is largely unfulfilled and rarely mentioned by the leadership. Shelved.
The Middle East is likely to remain unstable for the foreseeable future. Our accident-prone PM seems unable to act consistently in the long-term interests of the country.
