Haringey Council has promised new street lighting in Tetherdown, N10
following pressure from Lib Dem councillor Lynne Featherstone.
The work that will be carried out as part of the first phase of the 2005/06
programme, follows lobbying from Cllr Featherstone who has been working with
residents to improve lighting in the area after being approached by several
residents.
Haringey Council has acknowledged the poor quality of lighting in the area
and noted that there is a need for immediate attention due to the amount of
traffic on the road.
Cllr Featherstone has also requested that Haringey Council investigate the
poor paving in the road and take action to improve it as well as the
possibility of improved crossing facilities for pedestrians near Pages Lane.
She says that these are improvements are important in improving safety for
residents and the children attending schools around the Tetherdown area.
Cllr Featherstone comments: "I am delighted that the Council has recognised
the importance of improved lighting in this area.
"The Lib Dems have always pressed Haringey Council to improve road safety in
the borough and we will continue to do so. Lighting goes some way to
helping, but new pavements and making it easier for pedestrians to cross the
road will help children go to and from school safely."
