Muswell Hill Councillor Lynne Featherstone last week finally secured
assurances from Haringey Council that they would be addressing the state of
Avenue Mews, an issue that she has been continually pressing them over for
many years.
The issues that have been raised by local residents with Lib
Dem councillors include fly-tipping, obstructive parking and blocked drains
in the Mews, which runs parallel to the Broadway and has become a litter and
parking blackspot.
In response the Council has confirmed to Cllr Featherstone that the
following action will be taken.
They have requested that waste contractors Haringey Accord contact
traders and residents, to remind them to adhere to the correct procedures
for leaving waste to be collected i.e. putting it outside on day of
collection.
Accord have been given instructions regarding spilled rubbish,
leaving smelly materials in the road and failures to clean up dumped rubbish
in the area.
They will repaint parking and rubbish bays, a job which they failed
to complete two years ago, so that there is no conflict of space.
Parking penalties will now be enforced by wardens in the area.
Cllr Featherstone is pleased that some action has been taken. However she
says that she will be keeping a close eye on the area to ensure that the
Council's promises are fulfilled. She also says that some issues are yet to
be addressed in the road.
Cllr Featherstone comments:
"Finally residents in and around Avenue Mews are having some of the issues
that the Lib Dems have been campaigning about for many years acted upon.
However, promises are not the same as action - and the proof of the pudding
will be in seeing real action on the ground.
"The Council have much work to do as they are yet to address other problems,
such as blocked drains in the Mews. I will be making sure that this and
other work assured is carried out promptly."
