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.

No calling cards here. And David Schmitz is the only candidate to climb 4 flights of stairs to have a chat with me.

And I'll tell you another thing: David, Karen and Asha are the only ones among the scavengers for my vote who have the courtesy to envelop their individual billets-doux to myself & Lady OAE in returnable envelopes - not just have some un(der)employed ragamuffin ram them naked through my letter-box with the kebab & pizza crap.
The fact that we may not have got around to returning slip and envelope is neither here nor there. Google and Iceland are already privy to my most private desires; I don't necessarily want to share the longings of my heart with Nick or Danny or Vince or Lynne who already send me emails more frequently than my great FRIEND Lammy smothers me with fortnightly Newsletters of his busy life on my behalf.
But I'll tell you another thing: come Thursday next, me and the missus'll be down to the ballot booths at SHIS to cast our 1, 2 & 3 for Alexander, Kaur and Schmitz. The rest of yiz should do the same.
Glad to see Alan slipping the carpet from under Gina, by the way, but I'll not follow his advice to split my vote this time. Been there, done that too often just for old times' sake. So, Emine, who knows? Maybe I'll see you again in 2018 or 2022.

Perhaps its because you signed one of those petitions OAE once you sign anything with the Lib Dems and SWP that's it your in box is taken over. That's what the petitions are for to farm email addresses. I have enjoyed my regular weekly update of your voting intentions - have a great evening.
PS - If I lose by two votes on Thursday in 2018 your letter will be in a gold leaf envelope and returnable by special courier - but only if we secure the support of a millionaire heiress MP of course

Emine, I think I know how the world works. You may not know how my old brain works, so you may have missed my subtly ironic send-up of Lib Dem combine-harvesting methods. Which doesn't mean, of course, that I can't distinguish between local sincerity and national skullduggery of the LDs - or between national sincerity of a Milliband (not saying which one!) or an Abbott on one hand and local skullduggery of a Koberite Klept-Klan on the other. Fall-out from the latter's corruption can, alas, mean that innocent neighbours like yourself carry the can.
I look forward to that gold-leaf envelope in time for my 75th.

I'm disappointed OAE, if you missed my advice about where to put James Ryan's candidacy.
An Irish friend of ours told us about this 1-2-3 stuff. She got her first vote many years ago just before a General Election. Her parents explained how she needed to mark her ballot paper 1-2-3; putting 1 in the box next to the Tory candidate. She and I liked to think that Barnet counted them as two spoiled papers.

Right Alan, I did indeed see your Question Mark over young James Ryan's head. I'd go for a guillotine myself. Give young Ryan another generation to learn. In fact I may wait to see how Ryan's Daughter turns out in May 2044. I trust that a Grateful Nation will have awarded all centenarians a triple personal vote by then.
Meanwhile for an unofficial Irish touch on Thursday: VOTE EARLY - VOTE OFTEN!

It's not James Ryan's age which worries me. It's the fact that he's got into very bad company working directly with Claire Kober and Joe Goldberg. And is also now an apparatchik working for the Labour Party itself. If elected it's likely he'll simply shore up the Dear Leader's Tory policies, and contribute to another four years of drift and damage.
I may be utterly wrong and once elected this Koberite duckling may turn into a beautiful left-wing swan. But, as yet, there are no signs of this happening.
My advice to James Ryan would be for him to get well away from Haringey, breathe fresh air and be exposed to new ideas.
One interesting thing to watch is whether or not James actually spends the whole of election day in Harringay ward. Or is directed by his Labour Party bosses to go to some target borough somewhere else.

Indeed, Alan. Your view is in line with what I picked up from at least three Well-Informed Persons a couple of months ago. I hope young Ryan will grow up safely until he's mature enough to sue the Koberclique for Youth Abuse.

Ah well perhaps that's why you get responses to your emails from Karen and David, and so you should if you have emailed them. Getting a reply is polite and I have no reason to believe that they would not reply. It just seems a bit strange to use that as a comparator if you have never emailed us. How do you know that you would not get the same response.
Last time I checked my degree certificate it was from the University of North London.

Pay cut ? What are you talking about i don't get paid by the Council

What about "securing a much needed crossing" on Alroy Road? Every morning I see parents with pushchairs trying to get across the road.
Residents have been petitioning for one (with help from your Lib Dem friends) for years now. The issue has been made worse since the speed bumps were added to Upper Tollington Park meaning that drivers now seem to want to make up lost time on Endymion and Alroy (with cars often overtaking each other!).
All that has been offered is a feasibility study and even this seems not to have taken place (no residents saw anything happening in April when it was due to happen).
Also nothing has done to make the Endymion Road crossing safer (as discussed on HoL previously) as it is incredibly dangerous with cars seeming to lack visibility / going too fast - at times it can be more dangerous to cross here than Alroy Road. (Endymion Road is currently closed following an accident at this crossing that the Air Ambulance attended this morning).

A serious accident suggests that far too little was done to improve the Endymion Road zebra crossing. But what was done was not "nothing".
It was also done cross-party and with the active input and co-operation of local residents.
