Lib Dem councillors in Muswell Hill have welcomed steps taken by the owners of the Odeon cinema to improve conditions in the car park and the entrances to flats at the back of the site. Steps have been taken to remove accumulated rubbish.

Lib Dem councillors Gail Engert and Lynne Featherstone (Muswell Hill), who have been pushing for the improvements, say the measures are appreciated by local residents and shopkeepers alike, and the latter are particularly pleased that so much unsightly rubbish has been removed from the site.

Site managers have thanked councillors for bringing the state of the car park to their attention, and have since agreed to make it a daily task to clean the car park to prevent litter build up and fly tipping.

Lynne Featherstone comments:

“I am pleased we have secured a clear up in the area of the Odeon car park. We will be monitoring the situation to see that things to do not deteriorate in future, as rubbish on the site has been very off-putting in the recent past.”
