Councillor Wayne Hoban, Liberal Democrat member for Alexandra ward, has slammed Haringey Council over its failure to repair a large hole that has appeared in the middle of a busy road in Alexandra ward.

Cllr Hoban contacted the council on 25th July having observed that a large hole in the middle of Albert Road, opposite Albert Road Recreation Ground in Alexandra ward, had gone unrepaired for almost a week. However, Haringey Council has failed to acknowledge or respond to his request for urgent action.

Cllr Hoban comments:

“Albert Road is a major transport route through Alexandra ward and is heavily used by buses and heavy goods vehicles, not to mention local residents. The hole in the road is causing a major obstruction, particularly when the very popular adjacent recreation ground, which recently won a Green Flag Award, is being heavily used by local residents.”

He further states: “I am very unhappy with the fact that not only has Haringey Council failed to respond to my request, but also the fact that it has allowed a large hole on a major transport route to go unrepaired for so long. This is completely unacceptable and I have contacted Haringey Council to demand that immediate action is taken to repair it, or a serious accident could occur.”
