Tell us your priorities!

As I haven't done any blogging for a little while, I'm late telling you about the Haringey Lib Dem manifesto for the local elections on May 6th.

Yes, there are two important elections in Haringey next Thursday. And they are both a straight fight between Labour and the Liberal Democrats, with the Conservatives an irrelevance - just take a look at the results last time on the top left of my blog.

We published our local manifesto last month and plans range from the introduction of more 20mph speed limits on residential roads to improve safety to improving White Hart Lane Recreation Ground in Wood Green, from CCTV for Bowes Park station to improving cleaning and safety in the Sandlings and Sky City housing estates in Noel Park.

You can read the full manifesto here.

But one of the defining differences between Haringey Labour and Haringey Lib Dems is that we listen to what local residents want. We have been asking Haringey residents across the borough what their top five local priorities to improve their neighbourhood are - so we know where they want us to start putting the mess right if we take control of Haringey next week.
