LYNNE FEATHERSTONE IN TURNPIKE LANE CLEAR-UP

A rubbish and vermin hotspot in Turnpike Lane N8 is set to be cleaned up thanks to pressure from Haringey Lib Dem Councillor Lynne Featherstone.

Council officers have confirmed that they are currently baiting the ‘active rodent infestation’ at a sub-station to the rear of Denmark Road.

The move follows requests from Ms Featherstone asking Hringey Council to take urgent action. Haringey is also seeking to serve a notice on the owners for the removal of rubbish, which is encouraging the vermin.

Cllr Featherstone was alerted to the problem by local residents. While she is pleased that the Council is taking action she wants Haringey to tackle rubbish ‘hotspots’ more effectively in future.

Lynne Featherstone comments:

“I welcome the response by the Council and I have been assured that baiting will continue until the rats are gone.

“However, these rubbish hotspots are allowed to reach a state where they become a health hazard before action is taken. The Council needs to ensure that notices are served on private property at an early stage when rubbish is accumulating.”
