Local Lib Dems are calling for urgent action from the Council to regenerate two greens on Fortis Green. The two greens, at the end of Midhurst Avenue, are in a very poor condition and in desperate need of work. Local residents have raised the issue repeatedly over the years, but Fortis Green local councillor Matt Davies says that maintenance of the greens never seems to be consistent. In the past, residents have even clubbed together to donate substantial money for replanting of the flowerbeds.

The greens fall under the responsibility of Haringey Parks Service and Cllr Davies has been pressing them for action to be taken.

Cllr Davies (Lib Dem, Fortis Green) comments:

“The Council must act soon on this. The paths through the greens have raised and cracked paving stones throughout – there is a serious chance that someone could fall, and perhaps cost the Council a lot more than the cost of fixing the site now.

“Benches have been missing from the greens for sometime, and as well as the safety hazard, the potential of the open green space is not being met. The greens must be inspected and brought back up to an acceptable standard. Sometimes doing the little things promptly and well can make a great difference to local residents’ quality of life.”
