Lynne's Parliament and Haringey diary

I attend a report back on the Haringey Heartlands regeneration project consultation at Haringey Civic Centre. This was chaired by Cllr Makanji. And boy was cross. Whenever the residents said anything he didn't like (which was often) he would shout and browbeat them into submission - threatening to close the meeting rather than let them speak.

There is a real battle to be fought to stop residents suffering at the hands of the Mayor, Council and LDA who seem intent on going ahead with a poorly designed scheme which will not deliver the jobs, infrastructure or homes needed.

Perhaps Richard Rogers, who is involved, can steer this right - trouble is, he appears to be advising the developers. Is that a conflict of interest? Must find out!
