The Lib Dem campaign for control of Haringey council received a boost this weekend with a visit from Trade and Industry spokesperson Ed Davey, MP for Kingston and Surbiton. Ed Davey addressed party candidates and campaigners in Hornsey, before moving on to an afternoon of canvassing in Highgate with local Lib Dem Leader Neil Williams.

Mr Davey told party members that Haringey was a key battleground between the Lib Dems and Labour in the local elections, and urged the party to work hard for control of the Council on 4th May, putting an end to 35 years of Labour rule.

Lib Dem Leader and Highgate candidate Neil Williams comments:

“We were delighted to have Ed with us on the doorsteps in Haringey this weekend. Following on from Ming Campbell’s visit last week, it shows how important the local elections are in the borough. Our policies of better recycling, better long term planning for schools, and really listening to local people about decisions taken by the councils is proving popular with local residents.”
