Local Liberal Democrat councillor Laura Edge handed over the reins of the Crouch End Area Assembly to fellow Liberal Democrat colleague Cllr Lyn Weber last Wednesday night (21st May 2008). Cllr Weber will now chair the meetings of the Area Assembly, which covers Stroud Green, Crouch End and Hornsey, and has used her first meeting to tackle many topics and renew calls for local residents to suggest items to discuss.

Cllr Lyn Weber, new Crouch End Area Assembly Chair, comments:

“Laura has done a great job in ensuring that the Area Assembly is about residents talking and Haringey Council listening. I want to thank Laura for all her hard work and I am looking forward to a year building on her success.”

Cllr Laura Edge (Stroud Green) adds:

“I have had a wonderful time meeting local residents and taking their ideas to Haringey Council. The Area Assembly is a key part in making sure that Haringey Council is responsive to the needs of the local area. Lyn will be great.”
