Highgate’s Lib Dem councillors are demanding swift action from the Labour-run council to clear up the autumn leaves and rubbish in North Hill and North Road, the busy residential thoroughfare that connects Highgate village to the A1.

Lib Dem councillor Neil Williams says that leaves and debris have been heaped into piles and just left on the two roads, and have either blown away or turned into a slippery slime that poses a threat to elderly residents trying to walk about the area.

Cllr Williams also says that the roads are not getting a proper weekly sweep, and is asking Haringey Council to take action.

Neil Williams comments:

“I have been looking at the state of the these roads in Highgate this weekend, and frankly it is a disgrace.There are piles of leaves and rubbish everywhere. North Hill and North Road are getting nowhere near an adequate clean from the council, and I am asking them to take immediate action.”
