Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Haringey Digs in to Reserves to Plug Budget Gap
Haringey Council will be forced to use some of its reserves to plug a £16 million budget gap due to a failure to make planned savings.
The council will use £7.5 million from reserves to make up the deficit, which is mainly caused by higher-than-expected spending on children’s and adults’ services.
But it will still be left with a £6 million overspend in its general fund at the end of the current financial year and will have to look for other ways of making savings in order to balance its books.

Apparently it comes from the Budget Resilience Reserve. I can't tell you any more than that.

£8.7m has already been committed from reserves for 2017/18 so it would more from the same dwindling pot.
