Woodside ward Lib Dem Focus Editor Annie Faulkner has hit out at the state of street lighting in Ringslade Road. She said:

“We have been monitoring these lights in Ringslade Road for over a week now. It is simply unacceptable that this has been allowed to continue to happen.

“It is a particular concern to residents given the dark mornings and evenings.

“We have contacted the Labour-run Council, as have some local residents and they have still failed to repair them.”

Nigel Scott, Woodside Lib Dem Focus Editor added:

“Haringey Council is not only failing residents in Ringslade Road and in Woodside, but actually across the whole of Haringey, it is obvious frontline services are being affected by the massive £10.5 million overspend on the “Tech-Refresh” project by the Labour Council.”

The average length of time it takes Haringey Council to repair a street light is 23.49 days, against their target of 10 days. The Council has admitted, “The target will not be met this year and will need to be revised for 2006-07.”
