Lib Dem councillor Lynne Featherstone has welcomed news that Haringey Council andlocal traders in Avenue Mews, Muswell Hill, are cleaning up their act justweeks after she stirred Haringey Council into acting over the litter, fly-tippingand parking hotspot.

The Lib Dems have been contacting the Council about this area for manyyears, but it was only earlier this month that Haringey finally confirmedthat they were to take action to resolve problems over obstructive parking,fly-tipping and blocked drainage.

This week the Council reported to Cllr Featherstone that pallets that hadbeen dumped on the pavement had been removed but the general problem of bothAccord and privately owned wheeled bins causing an obstruction on thepavement appeared to have been resolved.

Cllr Featherstone is pleased with the report and other assurances over theprevious parking problems. However she says that there is still work to bedone to bring it up to an acceptable standard.

Cllr Featherstone (Muswell Hill) comments: “I am pleased that issues overwhich we have been pressing Haringey Council over many years are finally beingaddressed.

“This is a good start but we must remember that this road has been neglectedfor a long time and further effort needs to be made to ensure it is broughtup to an acceptable standard.”
