Stroud Green councillor Laura Edge is calling for Haringey Council to find a way to remove prominent graffiti from above the laundrette in Ferme Park, Stroud Green. Ms Edge started pressing for Haringey to remove the graffiti four months ago during the Stroud Green by-election when a number of local residents raised the issue with her.

Haringey Council recently visited the site and ascertained that it would be too dangerous to climb on to the roof of the laundrette to remove the graffiti. However Cllr Edge is keen to ensure that problem is not forgotten and is calling for another method of removing it to be found as soon as possible.

“Local residents have put up with this eyesore for far too long already. One of the most frustrating things is that, once removed, it is unlikely, given the situation, that it would be replaced with fresh graffiti.

“I am pleased that council officers are looking into the situation, but I am keen to ensure that the momentum is not lost and that an alternative solution is found to quickly removed this blight.”
