Highgate residents risk car damage and injury because of ‘unacceptable’ pot-holes in and around the Southwood Lawn Road area according to Lib Dem councillor, Lynne Featherstone.

Cllr Featherstone, who has written to the Council on numerous occasions regarding these pot-holes, visited the site and was angered to see that months after contractors had marked around the holes with chalk, they had still not been filled in.

Cllr Featherstone comments:

“I am angered by the failure of Haringey Council to rectify this problem. I measured a pot-hole at the top of Southwood Lawn Road and it was three inches deep. The contractors were ordered to repair it but since marking it a few months ago they have done nothing. “

Highgate councillor Neil Williams adds:

“This is not an isolated problem. I have had complaints from residents in surrounding roads such as Southwood Avenue where pot-holes have remained unrepaired for months on end. The Council must speed up these kinds of repair works to local roads.”
