Commenting on the forthcoming by-election in Tottenham Hale ward on 23rd January, Lib Dem Leader Ross Laird, said:

“Having pushed the Tories out of Haringey completely, this by election will be a straight fight between the Liberal Democrats and our unpopular Labour council.

“Local people are fed up with Haringey Labour, and this is an excellent chance for residents to show the council what they think of their inadequate performance, the controversial schools and leisure PFI schemes and Labour’s plans to raise council tax by over 40%.

“We have started a procedure for selecting our candidate, who we will have in place before Christmas.”
