Commenting on allegations from Haringey Labour that the Liberal Democrats are trying to “kill off” the Bernie Grant Centre project with concerns over finances, Lib Dem Deputy Leader, Councillor Wayne Hoban, comments:

“Concerns about the current business plan for the Bernie Grant Centre extend well beyond the Lib Dem Group on Haringey Council. These are genuine concerns and must be addressed.”

Lib Dem Leader Cllr Neil Williams adds:

“While we would all like the centre to succeed, I find it odd that Haringey Labour are now themselves seeking to publicise uncertainties surrounding the issue, while having criticised Lib Dems for bringing the issue to the Scrutiny Committee last week.

“You could be forgiven for thinking that they are now looking for someone else to blame should the project fail.”
