Lynne Featherstone

Lib Dem Councillor Lynne Featherstone is lobbying Haringey Council to invest in restoring a green verge that runs along Bounds Green Road from the North Circular to the end of Tewkesbury Terrace. The verge is particularly used by residents who walk to school and work.

Cllr. Featherstone has been in correspondence with senior managers in Environmental Services, expressing residents’ concerns over the state of the area. She has highlighted a shortage of litter and dog litter bins as well as problems with the state of the pathways.

“The green lies on the border of Enfield and as a result the council seems to have forgotten about it. I have highlighted many possible improvements that residents have raised with me – from extra litter bins to the installation of benches so that people can sit down there.

“As yet I have had no firm promises. However, the council has told me that they will look into the need for extra bins and consider placing dog litter bins on the verge too.

“I am not expecting overnight change to the verge, but I am asking the council to install the basics now, such as bins and to ensure that other more costly improvements are budgeted for in the next financial year.”
