The true depths of Haringey Council’s pothole crisis emerged this weekend after a local Liberal Democrat councillor found a contender for the deepest pothole in Haringey. Cllr Neil Williams was able to put his whole arm in the pothole on Kenwood Road. Whilst Liberal Democrats were able to see the lighter side of the story, they say that it shows the true extent of the deterioration of the borough’s streets under Labour.

Cllr Neil Williams (Highgate) commented:

“We have heard of black holes before – in Haringey’s finances and school places. Now we have Highgate’s answer to the Grand Canyon emerging on Kenwood Road.

“This shows the extent of the years of neglect that our streets have faced and should serve as a wake-up call to Labour transport bosses to the awful state of our roads.”

Lynne Featherstone MP adds:

“I was amazed when I saw the photo – as a good Liberal Democrat I have seen many potholes in my time but this takes the biscuit. However, this does have a serious message that shows that Haringey’s pothole crisis continues unabated with little effort by Haringey Council to tackle the problem.”
