Plans to help beleaguered residents in Crouch End beset by parking displacement chaos since last summer faces yet more delays.

The new setback follows Haringey Council’s failure to send the promised draft consultation documents to local residents’ representatives via email which resulted in only five responses arriving before the initial deadline.

After investigations by local Liberal Democrat councillor, Lyn Weber it was discovered that some of the residents’ representatives groups had not received correspondence from Haringey Council asking for their views. It has emerged that Haringey Council department had handed over the names without complete contact details. The deadline for groups to respond has now been extended until this Friday.

Cllr Lyn Weber (Crouch End) comments:

“Haringey Council has an unfortunate and uncanny knack of destroying any confidence built up surrounding this project.The time is ticking away and whilst it was agreed to extend the submission deadline to this Friday it still leaves a sour taste.One hopes that the future is brighter and more positive.I am sure Cllr Haley will be disappointed and I have asked that he resolve this communication issue today to enable residents to respond by the new deadline of Friday.”
