Hurrah! A victory for local people in Muswell Hill and their campaigning Lib Dem councillor – Martin Newton.

After Martin exposed the hideous mess that parking signage is in Muswell Hilll following the introduction of the Council’s Stop & Shop scheme’s – Labour Haringey has finally caved in and are doing (or appear to be beginning to do) the right thing. At least Cllr Brian Haley (Labour’s parking supremo) had the sense to respond to our pressure and come and see for himself. And having seen – he clearly had to act.

Well done Martin! As Martin puts it, “We have been campaigning for months to get parking signage not only legally compliant but also clear. We will have to wait to see if the proposals will be enough to put an end to the current confusion which has left motorists feeling that the Labour Council are deliberately setting out to confuse in order to slap a ticket on the windscreen.”
