Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Fairlands park hazardous litter

The park was in an absolute mess yesterday. Syringes in the bushes and litter everywhere.
I have put through a complaint to Haringey council. Hoping they take action and keep it cleaner.
Has anyone else noticed the state of it recently?

Fantastic.  I will PM you and be in touch.  Dates are always posted on HoL as well - so anyone else who would like to come along please do - everyone is welcome.  We also have a FoFP group on HoL: http://www.harringayonline.com/group/friendsoffairlandpark

Not sure if an existing member needs to invite or whether you can invite yourself but will have a play and see what happens.

Look forward to meeting you soon, Anna

Hi Anna,

Thanks for this - I will be there.

It would be great to get some regular community litterpicks arranged in the park to help make it safer and cleaner - if anyone is interested let me know.

Best,

Sarah

I have reported street rubbish in the last couple of weeks to the council on Beresford Road.  I have never seen it so bad.  Not sure why it's particular bad at the moment, unfortunately you can't stop people from littering which is also a major issue on Green Lanes.

Christopher, I wonder if Veolia has gone into meltdown or just doesn't give a damn, maybe because there are no council staff left to monitor the contract. Came back from The Netherlands recently where we didn't see a single piece of street rubbish in 5 days, came out of Turnpike Lane tube and turned into Willoughby Rd ... disgusting mess everywhere, truely appalling ...

Hi, yes it has definitely got noticeably worse and it's a major concern if there are now sharps in the park where small children play all the time. I think you can go direct to Veolia instead of going via the council.

It took me 7 months and a formal complaint to Haringey Council before we had a medical sharps box collected as the pharmacies no longer take them.  I can't imagine an addict would have the energy to do this as I almost considered dumping it myself.
