Local Lib Dems are pushing the council to force a clean up in a mud-covered street in Muswell Hill. The party wants action in Burlington road, which is covered with mud as a result of building works at nearby Tetherdown School.

Haringey Council has failed to act, despite repeated requests from Lynne Featherstone and the newly elected Lib Dem councillors for the Fortis Green ward. Councillor Stephen Gilbert, Fortis Green, is asking the council to remove the mud and charge the costs back to the contractors – and if not explain why it is not doing so. He is tabling a question on the issue at next week’s full council meeting.

Steve Gilbert comments:

“Its about time this mess was cleared up. The council is reluctant to act, but somebody has to clear up this mess, as local residents are fed up with it. The contractors should do so, and if they fail, they should be made to pay for it.”
