Lynne Featherstone and Highgate’s Lib Dem councillors have expressed satisfaction as their pressure for better road surfaces in Highgate has achieved another success. Haringey’s Council has agreed to resurface all the roads in Highgate identified as in need of urgent action by the Lib Dems. They include Highgate High Street, Hillside Gardens and Jackson’s Lane.

Lib Dem Parliamentary Spokesperson and Highgate resident Lynne Featherstone comments:

“This is good news at last. Many Highgate roads have been waiting far too long for resurfacing. In the case of Southwood Lane, the surface is very potholed and falling away at the sides and no amount of patching seems to solve the problem.

Local councillor Melanie Simpson adds:

“We’ll be keeping an eye on the works, as there is a definite feeling that Highgate roads do not always get the attention they need from Haringey Council. Southwood Lane and Jackson’s Lane both carry a lot of traffic and have clearly needed resurfacing from some time. I am pleased the Council has finally agreed to action in the coming financial year.”
