HOW much more?

How much air quality data needs to be collected in Haringey and over how many more years, before the council does more than merely follow-up on paper?

And takes actual action, rather than publish action plans?

The council's laissez-faire policy has continued for years. Although Keir Starmer says he will deliver change (?), his local representatives can be relied on to deliver more of the same.

I inhaled traffic fumes to find out where air pollution goes in my body

ALICE, in late January the Green Party announced some candidates in some Wards, but the list appears not yet finalised.

At the time of writing, neither Labour nor the Liberal Democrat Parties in Haringey appear to have listed candidates on their websites.

At the last election 2022, the Conservative Party polled 7.8% of the vote. The Tottenham Conservatives have been active in the past, but seem now to have left the field. Their last web address (https://www.tottenhamconservatives.co.uk/) "could not be found". Their national webpage is here.

The Reform Party appear not to have a Haringey web presence; their national webpage is here.

The Your Party appear occupied with internal elections.

By long tradition, the Friends of Finsbury Park host election hustings in the area. This year's hustings will take place on 15th March with time and venue TBA. Newsletter subscribers will learn first.

Some years ago, the FoFP hosted at the Haringey MIND Centre. It was packed to bursting and late arrivals such as local resident David Lammy MP could not at first get in!

As these public forums can be wildly popular, anyone interested should try to arrive early.
