Just a quick one, as I haven't mentioned yet that my Lib Dem colleague Helen Duffett is standing in a council by-election in Redbridge next week .

Since the London transportation network is filled with people who are angry about the inadequate service they receive, its directors have found a solution: posters requesting that people that people not be angry about the inadequate service they receive. Meanwhile, my local council in Haringey publishes a monthly magazine called Haringey People. In it one can see photos of the councillors...

Labour growing on London councils (Luke's Blog)

Wed, 25 Jun 2008 12:48:00 GMT

Slightly counter-intuitive given the national polls, but Labour in London is going through a remarkable period in terms of councillor defections to us from other parties. In the three adjoining boroughs of Haringey , Hackney and Tower Hamlets in 13 months we've had two defections from Lib Dem to Labour in Haringey , one from Lib Dem to Labour in Hackney and five from the various successor...

Yesterday saw the opening of a new dental practice - Crystal Dentist Practice - in Durnsford Road. Hurrah! We need more dentists - and yes - it took them two years but they managed to get funding for some NHS work as well as private. Having consulted with local residents - they realised that there was a huge demand for an NHS dentist locally and decided that they would wait to get the NHS contract...

The Scouts in Haringey (Lynne's Parliament and Haringey dia)

Sun, 15 Jun 2008 12:57:00 GMT

On Thursday night I went to the AGM of London North Scouts at the Scout Park which is in my constituency - although the group also covers several others. It is a fine organisation - and this was a timely visit as Haringey Council has decided to withdraw the very paltry support funding it gives them. I am fighting this , particularly as it has been taken away and the Scouts told to get funding...

Free The Rubbish Truck Mascots! (Londonist)

Tue, 10 Jun 2008 08:32:54 GMT

North London rubbish collectors, Haringey Enterprise, have been ordered to remove any soft toys they may have strapped to the front of their trucks as they pose a risk to small children who might be drawn to said, abducted squishies and thereby get squishied themselves, we presume. It's health and safety gone mad, do we hear you cry? Well yes, in a way it is. But we're also secretly relieved....

Rats have taken over Muswell Hill. And we're not just talking about the clowns from Haringey Council who dumped those confidential documents a few months back. No, these are the genuine deal, the scurrying little beggars themselves, all brown of fur and sharp of claw.
