Commenting on the latest reports over the departure of Haringey Council’s Chief Executive David Warwick, Lib Dem Leader Neil Williams said:

“These issues raise huge concerns. I have asked Haringey Council to release all the documentation in relation to the funding bid from Haringey Business Development Agency (HBDA), including any concerns expressed by officers over whether this substantial grant of funding is in the best interests of Haringey Council taxpayers.”

Local MP Lynne Featherstone adds:

“The Labour Leader’s term of office has brought the ruling Labour group to a state of total meltdown in just a year – and now we have a council without a Chief Executive as well. What potential chief executive is gong to want to work for Haringey Labour when they are in such a total shambles? It is hugely damaging.”
