Lib Dem candidate for Mayor Simon Hughes was campaigning in Haringey again on Saturday, visiting shops and shoppers in Crouch End and Muswell Hill, as well as taking a tour of the Haringey Heartlands area in Wood Green.

Mr Hughes, along with GLA candidates Lynne Featherstone, Wayne Hoban and local Lib Dem councillors, stopped off at the famous Dunns Bakers in Crouch End, where they met bakery staff and purchased a selection of Crouch End cakes from baker Chris Freeman.

Simon Hughes met shoppers in Muswell Hill and Crouch End, and visited the controversial Queen’s Lodge site with local councillors. He also travelled to Wood Green for a briefing on the Haringey Heartlands development.

Simon Hughes comments: “I always enjoy coming to Haringey, and campaigning with Lynne Featherstone, Wayne Hoban, and the local Lib Dem team in the area. The shopping streets in Muswell Hill and Crouch End are a good example of local shops serving their local communities particularly well.

“It is hugely important that in these busy areas police are seen to combat the fear of crime. If elected, Mayor, I will put four police and four other uniformed officers in every ward in Haringey to make sure that local people feel safe, secure and confident of our police service.”

Lynne Featherstone adds:

“It was a pleasure to welcome Simon Hughes again to Haringey. It’s clear that the race for Mayor is between Simon and Labour’s Ken Livingstone, and we’ll be working extremely hard for a Lib Dem Mayor for London.”
