A complete disregard for public safety – that is how local Lib Dems are describing a delay in replacing a missing drain cover outside Broadwater Farm primary school in Adams Road.The delay has angered local Liberal Democrat councillors, as a report was made to Haringey Council’s emergency repair line on 8th April 2007. However, the drain cover still has not been replaced.

Haringey Lib Dems are astonished at the disregard of public safety, especially in light of its location outside a busy school. Liberal Democrats have taken this issue up with the Council’s highways department as a matter of urgency.

Harringay ward councillor Carolyn Baker comments:

“It is hard to believe that a drain cover outside a primary school has been uncovered for so long. This is an accident waiting to happen. I am concerned that children could be injured falling into it, not to mention the hygiene risks from having a litter and stagnant water trap open so close to the school. It is unacceptable.”
