FEATHERSTONE CHALLENGES COUNCIL'S MEMO ON SNOW

Liberal Democrat councillor Lynne Featherstone has challenged a memo sent out by Haringey Council that claims that gritters completed their job of gritting all first and second priority routes on the night of the 30th January during the recent cold snap.

The memo written by Cllr. Ray Dodds, Executive Member for the Environment, was challenged following complaints from residents of Hillfield Park, N10. Residents say that gritting did not occur in Hillfield Park according to the schedule claimed in the memo and as a result there were several accidents.

Cllr. Featherstone has expressed her astonishment at how poorly the operation was carried out:

“This weather had been predicted days in advance, this was not something that should have taken the council or Haringey Accord by surprise.

“I have written to the council challenging their claims and I will keep the pressure on them until I have a satisfactory response and an apology to residents.”
