Laura Edge, Lib Dem Councillor for Stroud Green, has secured an assurance from Haringey Council that a dilapidated car park in Granville Road N4 will be tidied up. The car park used by local residents will be brought up to standard this year.

The announcement comes months after requests for action from Cllr Edge following complaints from a resident that the car park was strewn with litter and that only one of the ten lamps was working properly.

Haringey Council has now accepted that they have not been carrying out general maintenance properly. They have assured Cllr Edge that the car park will be regularly cleaned and the grass verges cut. They have also confirmed that they will be inspecting the lighting and restoring or replacing broken lamps.

Cllr Edge has welcomed the news. Cllr Laura Edge comments:

“I am pleased that something is finally going to be done about the car park which has been left in a state of disrepair for a number of years, despite residents’ complaints.

“I am hopeful that we will now see an improvement to the site. I have requested a timetable for the improvements and I will be watching closely to make sure they are carried through.”
