Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Vote for Harringay LABOUR Action Team – May 22nd 2014
With your support and confidence behind us on May 22nd you can help build a fairer Harringay, a fairer Borough and send a clear message that the residents of Harringay ward believe in social justice, community cohesion, the opportunity for all to thrive and equality.
Our key priorities for the borough:
- We will freeze Council Tax for four more years
- We will invest £25million improving our pavement and roads making them more pedestrian and cyclist friendly
- Every school and childcare setting will be rated good or outstanding by Ofsted
- We will invest £1million putting more police on our streets
- We will deliver over 1,000 new affordable homes 250 of which will be built by the council
Labour’s Record in Harringay
- Campaigned on parks – making Ducketts Common, Fairland Park and Finsbury Park safer, cleaner and with more equipment. We have also secured money from the GLA for Harringay’s Pocket Park – improving the local environment between Allison Rd and the Salisbury Pub
- Tackled rouge landlords, with tough action like taking bad landlords to court. We have also secured tougher regulations in Harringay ward and new restrictions on converting properties in to smaller flats.
- Campaigned for the investment of record money into roads to improve the local environment for cyclists and pedestrians.
- Expanded the play streets scheme where a local road can be closed for a few hours allowing children and families in Harringay to play and have fun safely outside.
- Funding has been secured for 6 new roaming police officers
- We have secured a much needed pedestrian crossing on Green Lanes
- We have successfully campaigned for a new fixed camera on Wightman Rd to stop large lorries (HGVs) breaking weight restrictions and using the ladder as a rat run
We have also
- Fought for and increased support for the credit union to tackle legal and illegal loans sharks. Every child starts secondary school in Haringey will get a £20 credit union account to teach them about saving and the dangers of debt and ‘legal loan sharks’
- Supported Haringey 40:20 & plans to lower carbon emissions
- Campaigned for protecting and improving our local libraries – we are proud that Labour in Haringey has protected libraries despite unprecedented budget cuts from central government
How the Liberal Democrat record damages Harringay locally
- Backing to cuts to Haringey services 13 times deeper than Tory boroughs like Richmond. This has decimated parts of the voluntary sector.
- Supporting the pernicious ‘Bedroom Tax’, hitting hundreds of disabled people
- Supporting police cuts that have seen 130 officers lost from Haringey’s streets.
- Supporting the privatisation of our NHS and putting local health services at risk
People in Harringay believe in fairness and social justice and the Liberal Democrats have abandoned that all together. They have supported Pickles, Duncan Smith and Osborne all the way.
The Liberal Democrats talk down Harringay but they have no positive vision for improving the ward or the borough and dealing with the big challenges. The Liberal Democrats in Harringay ward offer support for their party’s legacy of broken promises and Harringay Labour offer the opportunity for residents to help us build and support a fairer more inclusive community.
We want to see improvements to the local environment which means tougher action on landlords, betting shops, planning and licensing breaches. We also want to see improved safety for pedestrians and will continue to campaign for a crossing at Alroy Rd, traffic calming measures and improvements to pavements and roads.
Please use all three of your votes on May 22nd for Harringay Labour.

Emine is right. Personally I've never had any problem working cross-party with Karen Alexander and David Schmitz on issues where we shared the same views. I'm confident they in the interests of residents, if they and Emine Ibrahim are elected, they will build the same good working relationship.
Though naturally I'm backing Emine.

You forgot to mention the negotiations with the Wards Corner developers and the securing of the prestigious concerts that will put Finsbury Park out of commission for weeks.

This is about Harringay Ward - so why would I post about wards corner. I have not forgotten to mention Finsbury Park in fact I regularly engage in debate on it with the candidate for Highgate so my views are clear.
It's a big shame the Lib Den Cllrs for the ward don't and mislead residents regarding their involvement in the stakeholder group (I have evidence of this) and both failed to turn up at the scrutiny call in. Again I am absolutely confident in the facts of this issue. What I promise is that every piece of communication is fact based - on this issue your local lib dems have set a really low bar. I think it is absolutely appalling that I even have to say that - where are we at politically when the bar is so low that we have to promise to tell the truth. I have seen literature prepared by these people centrall instructing campaigners how to fight dirty local campaigns and how to reel residents in to it. That's not us and not who we are. I can give you two famous examples which I urge you to research - Bermondsey Bi-election 1983 - Millwall Bi-election 1993.
I have seen examples of this age old practice by the lib dems in Harringay ward. Turkish Cypriot residents have been allegedly informed on the doorstep that they may wish to vote for me however giving their other two votes to the liberal democrats is their duty due their campaign to lift the trade embargo on North Cyprus. This is a fantastical claim and insult and playing dangerous games with community cohesion in a ward where Greek and Turkish Cypriots live together in peace. I have asked confirmation if this is happening and no response and no denial. I therefore take a further opportunity here to request that this immediately stops and that people who know nothing about the Cyprus problem refrain from seeking to gain political capital from it. We are accused of talking national these guys are going international. This is Harringay not Nicosia !

" We will deliver over 1,000 new affordable homes 250 of which will be built by the council."
This must be good news for Harringay Ward - but where are you going to put them ?
My comments relate to your election information above and not to your posts over past months.
It's also very unfair of you to attack individuals from other parties when you know that, because of the rule imposed by the HOL administration, they have no right of reply. Now that IS dirty.

I have attacked no individual. And they have been asked in other forums too where they can respond if they do and are able to categorically deny or apologise then I myself will post the link. If you see the link you can post too. I have been waiting over a week.

I'm assuming the figure is for the borough as a whole John. Bit of a squeeze just in the ward!

" It's a big shame the Lib Den Cllrs for the ward don't and mislead residents .... "
Wouldn't this be David Schmitz and Karen Alexander ?

You typed those names not me on the issue of non attendance at scrutiny that is a matter of public record. On the issue of attempting a ridiculously ill advised intervention on the Cyprus problem in the hope of splitting votes and as a result communities - no names are mentioned.

If you look again John that is clearly listed under our priorities for the borough
-
-
Agreed. But you say I can't raise Wards Corner because it's not in Harringay.
It's pointless continuing this. Good luck in your campaign.

I can confirm that no email has been received from anyone by the name of Jonny on the Harringay Labour email account which may answer the question of why you have not received a response. If it is under another name let me know and I will find out why you didn't get a reply. Also it would be helpful to know the issue you emailed about. We knock on peoples doors every week and leave calling cards.
