Local Lib Dem councillors in Muswell Hill have secured the agreement of Haringey Council for the removal of several ugly posts that have cluttered up Muswell Hill Road for months.

The Lib Dems have been pressing the Labour run council for action on the problem, as the array of signs and disused poles installed by Haringey in recent years is both confusing and an eyesore for residents and motorists. The six poles targeted include two disused lamp columns.

Muswell Hill councillor Lynne Featherstone says:

“Many residents have quite rightly complained to me that these signs are an eyesore. Six signs have now been identified for removal, which is a good start in reducing this visual blight, although it will still leave a very large number of posts in place.We will continue to work on this problem.”
