Labour councillor Charles Adje, Leader of Haringey Council, has been forced to offer a full, if begrudging, apology to the Council and the residents of Haringey for using Haringey Council resources to organise Labour Party campaign meetings.

At the meeting of Haringey’s Full Council, Councillor Adje was grilled by Liberal Democrat Leader Neil Williams, who had in the past weeks uncovered evidence showing that the Labour Leader had been personally aware of the Labour Party using Council HQ River Park House for their campaign meetings.

Councillor Adje looked flustered and embarrassed as he explained that the Labour Party had now reimbursed Haringey Council for the use of the room.

Councillor Neil Williams, Leader of the Opposition on Haringey Council said:

“I find it astonishing that Labour needs to be reminded that Council resources are not to be used in this way for political advantage. The Council is not a tuck shop to be dipped into by the Labour party when it is in trouble.”
