Lib Dem councillor Lynne Featherstone has secured a commitment for extra street sweeping in Hillfield Avenue, Hornsey, following complaints from local residents.

Local residents had complained that the street, which joins Hornsey High Street, suffered from litter blowing down the road which was not cleared often enough. The Council has now agreed to increase the schedule for sweeping the first 30 metres of the road in an effort to address the problem. This will now be done twice daily on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, with a daily sweeping on the weekends.This regime should commence from the beginning of April.

Lynne Featherstone comments:

“I am pleased that action is being taken, as roads adjoining busy High Streets in Haringey often have inadequate sweeping. Once a week is not enough in these locations, and the Council should keep this under review. Giving the first part of the road the same sweeping times as Hornsey High Street should improve the situation in the coming weeks.”
