Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
All 3 Haringey paddling pools out of action
To save anyone else the same faff we’ve just encountered - please be aware that ALL THREE of Haringey’s paddling pools are currently out of order! All of them were due to open today - but none of them have (and Priory Park is out of action for a longer period). What with Clissold Park also being out of action for potentially the next 6 weeks, it’s not looking good for children’s water play in our local area. (My additional particular irritation is that when I checked on the pools and opening dates literally 2 days ago, they were all still anticipated as opening - hence my fruitless search for cooling down options today…!)

IMO, Parks needs a big shake-up, if not a shake-out.
I remain disgusted that the previous crew regarded Finsbury Park (in accounting terms) as a profit centre over the summer. Except regular accounts do not exist.
In the current heat, hundreds of residents have been using the gentle south-facing slopes on what the council Events Team refer to during their "Events Season" as the Bandstand Field.
All the residents would be displaced for the council's monopolistic customer, Festival Republic/Live Nation.

The new Cabinet member for placemaking is Cllr Dixie-Ann Joseph of Tottenham Central Ward, the same as the new leader of the council

David Theakston at Haringey Parks is useless, all you will get from him is lame excuses. The parks depart is completely dysfunctional and constantly blame other people for any park issues.
