Councillors have to be selected by their respective party to stand for election - Momentum produced lists of candidates they approved of and got all their supporters to fill selection meetings to oust those councillors they did not control. The crit…

Certainly the Council should not put off its annual meeting - if Parliament finds a way of conducting its business they should too - so much has changed not least in their own party - I suspect those currently in charge are holding on to what they h…

Tried to post Package at Finsbury Park - queue halfway down Finsbury Park Road and the office not open well after advertised opening time - tried using UPS - package picked up from my doorstep no hassle.
-
I had two parcels arrive five weeks late - the N4 postal service sees particularly bad just now although it’s never been good. The loss of the calling office back of Homebase was a real problem although the on line redirect has helped in normal tim…

Looks a nice place but they did not take cash

Haringey Council have still not cancelled the big events planned for Finsbury Park in June/July. Even if the 45,000 or so youngsters attending might not get very sick if they catch the virus older members of their family will.
-
hats off to Ed who runs the Stroud Green farmers market who has completely transformed their operation to follow social distancing and delivering to people who need the service
-
Time for Haringey Council to cancel all large scale events in Finsbury Park this summer (Wireless etc) to limit the spread of the virus and keep the park completely open for all who will need it so much at this time - let’s see some leadership here

The last I heard about the old ticket hall is that it’s being used by the bus undertaking

Latest ipso-MORI polling of leader popularity shows Corbyn having the lowest satisfaction rate since these figures were collated - Johnson has better figures but not by all that much. For those who want to see the table: http://www2.politicalbettin…
-
Would be good to see Corbyn get a run for his (or our) money in Islington North - as for Hornsey and Wood Green it would be nice to have an MP who stands up to and is prepared to challenge our Council - not had much of that from our incumbent.
-
Verdict - called out for antisemitism more than once, no real interest in local issues to date.
-
My personal view is that the Council have been fairly complacent about this - they get some income from these events without putting any effort into ensuring value for money and close their ears to the criticism and because two thirds of the people …

I thought the following tweets put forward by tom@tgraham deserved a bigger audience given the work he has put into compiling them. I reproduce them here with his permission. They make interesting reading for those who have been following the deba…

Thanks

Nextdoor operates in my area and gets a fair amount of posts from lost cats to items for sale. I prefer this site myself but it does have a following

That corridor was always there and I believe there was a ticket hall long since closed due to flooding. There were lifts in the original layout - water powered from the London Hydraulic Power Company but removed. The small brick building next to t…
-
I have no inside knowledge but I did find that their prices for framing were very high and after promising an arts space it was soon closed. Back in the day they also ran an excellent arts shop in the old building which when closed must have freed …
-
Both lifts are working and will make a great difference to those with heavy loads or mobility issues - when I tried them a passenger came out and looked a bit lost but people will soon be making good use of them.
-
John Jones may have been better not going into office development and concentrating on their core business - they were quick to drop the art space once they got the building finished - I am really sorry for the people who have lost their jobs. I w…
-
The Council has made a pigs ear of this - the real offence is the excessive noise, the loss of the park for long periods, the bad behaviour of festival goers before and afterwards the excessive noise in a densely populated area - these are the reaso…

If you are elected to be a Councillor you have responsibilities to act as a role model as well as the privileges that go with the job - when such a person’s conduct falls below the standard of behaviour the community has a right to expect they shoul…

The new entrance will mean that we can avoid the long trek under the railway bridges to get into the station. There were plans to redecorate that area but no action yet. I noticed that Work has started in fitting out Clifton house where the Gym wa…

I also note that the friends of the park have raised concerns about the small amount of money that actually comes back to the Bourough may not be bieng spent on the park as required by law - more information on their website.
-
The events in the park have been the usual nightmare of noise anti-social behaviour and loss of the park - I wonder if Harringey’s new left wing administration will be as keen to help the promoters line their pockets while the rest suffer - and Hack…

I suspect quite a few greens have gone to Momentum so I expect their numbers to reflect that. Think the Labour candidates will be too distracted with their internal problems so inspite of little campaign on their part the Lib Dem’s may be the best …
-
I also use the phone app and the Council nearly always respond - you need to be careful if you report something close to the Islington border as the issue sometimes gets wrongly picked up by Islington Council which causes delay. Up to the election …

I would be really sorry to loose Oxford House - it would not be difficult to restore the facade. I would like to see us treasure some of our quirkier buildings. The developers have been given planning permission already which most neighbors seeme…
-
The alternative would be to build something that is in proportion with the surrounding properties and maintain the attractive facade - they have planning permission for that but they keep trying to get something much bigger and unsuitable. If they …

The simple point is that for all his many faults had it not been for Churchill’s tenacity at that time this country would have been under the nazi jackboot no chance of this kind of protest then.
