I voted for Lib DemsI voted for Lib Dems in the last local elections and the last general election, even though they did no campaigning in Tottenham that I could see. I simply want a change in Haringey, as I am sick to death of the Labour party that has done nothing to diminish the east/west, poor/rich split in the borough, even though they have had control of the Council FOREVER.
The schools in Tottenham are appalling, with everyone that I know who has sons moving out before they will risk their futures here.
Environment? Don't make me laugh. Every scrap of land in Tottenham is covered in "social" housing with nothing for local FAMILIES to live in. Any 3 bed or more house in the area is destined to be converted to flats, with or without permission. Traffic calming schemes that do nothing but damage local cars and houses. A Planning Department and Building Control that you have to badger to take any action against unauthorised works by developers, but would come down on owner occupiers like a ton of bricks for even a minor breach.
Parking policies and bus lanes that have more to do with punishing drivers than traffic control. Absolutely bonkers...
Does the Council (Councillors or officers) ever use EVIDENCE for any of their policies? They haven't got the means of collecting coherent and credible information about anything going on in the borough, so I sincerely doubt it. Ask them for the costs of maintaining the continually damaged traffic calming scheme, and they are completely unable to provide information, and will simply try to lie about it.
I am incredibly disappointed that the Lib-Dems don't seem to see the traditional working class areas of Haringey as having any value to them, and don't campaign here at all. We need credible candidates who have the area's interests at heart, and I cannot see that we have anyone to vote for.
Our MP, who supposedly came from Tottenham, is much, much more interested in his political career than actually representing his constituents. He is a New Labour lapdog, an Oreo, and will never get my vote again. I voted for Labour with hope 11 years ago, and have been sadly disillusioned by them. "Moral foreign policy". Yeah, right...
He never responds to email, either.
