Alexandra Councillor Wayne Hoban has welcomed news that Haringey Council will be investing £161,000 in Albert Road Recreation Ground and its children’s playground in 2005/06.

The funding is being provided to improve the quality, presentation and attraction of the site and to meet ‘Green Flag’ standards. It will allow upgrade of play/sports surfaces, roads & paths, etc.

The popular and well-used recreation ground and children’s playground has seen considerable improvements in recent years, largely through the combined efforts of the Friends Group, Haringey Tennis, council officers and local Lib Dem councillors.

Cllr Hoban comments:

“The Recreation Ground and playground are much valued and well used. I am very pleased that significant funding is at last going into the site, and will continue to work closely with the Friends Group, Haringey Tennis and all other interested parties to ensure that all sections of the local community benefit from this funding.”
