Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Streetpride Champions for Haringey?
The Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council created Streetpride because of its desire to work more closely with the community. High on the list of Streetpride’s innovative and customer focussed campaigns is the Streetpride Champions Scheme.
This scheme has grown as a result of listening closely to what residents said about their own streets and localities.
There are now more than 170 volunteers who are directly involved in the upkeep of their neighbourhood public spaces. The numbers of volunteers has steadily increased year on year.
The scheme highlights the strong link that the council has forged with its residents and links closely with the Streetpride mission statement:
"To work with the community to maintain and improve the street scene to a standard which will promote civic pride and community responsibility".
So, time for Harigey to look at a similar scheme?

Of course, the Community Volunteers programme in Haringey has a similar remit, and tries to achieve the same thing.
I think the aspect about having more say in how services are delivered could easily be extended to the CV programme. The officers who run the programme are very keen to improve and drive the service forward.
(oddly enough, the CV scheme doesn't seem to have a presence on the Haringey Council website)

A few years back, I proposed a "Civic Pride" campaign. It was dumbed down to "Better Haringey".
'Streetpride' as a term seems like a good blend of the practical and inspirational. It has its feet on the ground (or pavement); but can still glance at the stars from time to time.
