Lynne's Parliament and Haringey diary

MORE than 500 residents concerned about council plans to cut Haringey's parks police force have contacted the Liberal Democrats, a councillor claims.

The news comes as Labour-run Haringey Council announced consultation will begin on proposals to axe the parks constabulary and replace it with community policing which, it is claimed, will increase supervision in parks.

But Councillor Ron Aitken, the Liberal Democrat spokesman for policing and community safety, said there was widespread apprehension.

He said: "The Liberal Democrats have had over 500 responses so far from people who say they are very concerned about the parks police being disbanded."
