Police in Muswell Hill have agreed to ensure that the boroughs’ new police community support officers (PCSOs) take a more active role in dealing with the problem of flyposting on the Broadway after local councillor Lynne Featherstone wrote to them expressing the concerns of local residents on the issue.

Cllr Featherstone (Muswell Hill) contacted community inspector Craig Middleton, who oversees beat operations in Haringey, detailing complaints that the Lib Dems had received on flyposting in recent months. Inspector Middleton responded last week confirming that the PCSOs would be directed to take a more active role in combating the problem on the Broadway.

Cllr Featherstone is pleased that the issue is being tackled and that PCSOs are being directed to serve the community effectively:

Lynne Featherstone comments:

“I am pleased that the issue of the flyposting is being taken seriously by the police in the area. It is a real scourge on the appearance of the Broadway. PCSOs have had a very positive impact on the streets of Haringey and they are ideally placed to tackle this problem in Muswell Hill.”
