Haringey Lib Dems have released details of the group’s spokespersons and lead members for the coming year. Bolstered by their large gain in numbers at the local elections three weeks ago, the Liberal Democrats are pledging to ensure that the highest levels of scrutiny are applied to the workings of the Labour administration in the London Borough of Haringey.

The Lib Dems gained 11 new councillors at the local elections, as well as topping the popular vote across the borough. As a result hold many more seats on advisory bodies and committees to which Haringey Council officers report. Many Council bodies will be tied, with equal numbers of Lib Dem and Labour councillors.

Councillor Neil Williams, Leader of the Liberal Democrat opposition, comments:

“I am incredibly fortunate to have such a talented team behind me, and I am sure it will not be too long before the Liberal Democrats are the controlling group on this council. What the borough needs is a united team, elected with the most popular support in the local elections, and on a clear and detailed manifesto as was so sadly lacking from the Labour party in these elections.”
