Statement from Haringey Liberal Democrats Council leader, Cllr Neil Williams, following the resignation of Cllr Catherine Harris from Lib Dem group:

“I’m naturally disappointed, as I enjoyed working with Catherine, and indeed, she has until very recently been a strong and vocal critic of Haringey Labour’s handling of housing issues.

“It is most disappointing for the people of Noel Park, who elected a Liberal Democrat councillor after years of Labour neglect of the area. I am sure we will win the seat back, as we have enormous strength and depth in our team.”
