Haringey’s Lib Dems celebrated another ‘golden jubilee this week, with the 50th edition of the party’s popular FOCUS newsletter in Muswell Hill ward.

The party first began delivering FOCUS in the area in the mid-nineties, when the Lib Dems had no representatives on Haringey council. FOCUS triggered the party’s dramatic breakthrough to Haringey council, where the Lib Dems, having wiped out the Tories and gained many seats from Labour in May, are now the official opposition party with 15 seats.

From humble beginnings in Muswell Hill, the party now delivers their regular FOCUS newsletter across all of Hornsey and Wood Green.

Lynne Featherstone, who represents the ward along with Jonathan Bloch and Ross Laird, comments:

“Regular community newsletters are the cornerstone of the Lib Dem approach, as they signal to people that we are committed to working with them, and keeping in touch throughout the year – not just at election time. It has been a vital part of our success in Haringey, and I can hardly believe we have now reached number fifty in Muswell Hill ward.”
