A Highgate Lib Dem councillor is asking Haringey Council for urgent action to clean drains in a local road where several have been blocked for many months.

Cllr Bob Hare says that drains in Wood Lane, Highgate have been blocked but despite requests, the Labour-run council has so far failed to take action.

Blocked drains on the road are causing water to run down driveways into garages and towards the front of houses. Cllr Hare is asking for a special council visit to the busy and narrow road, which lies near Highgate tube station.

Cllr Bob Hare comments:

“It’s about time the drains in Wood Lane were cleared. Haringey Council’s approach to clearing drains in the area appears to be very haphazard. Whatever their regular schedule of cleaning, a special visit needs to be made to Wood Lane as the present situation is not good enough.”
