 Bounds Green residents living near Bowes Park station are celebrating the successful end of a ten-year campaign to get lighting for the railway-passage at the station. Lib Dem councillors John Oakes and Ali Demirci convened a site meeting between Police Sgt Andy Lea, residents, and Haringey's Street Lighting department, securing state-of-the-art lights for the passage.
Ten years ago, residents living near the railway-passage from Bowes Park station began campaigning for better lighting to deter the muggers and drug-dealers who use it from time to time.
Spokesperson Mrs Andra Kleanthous, who lives in nearby Queens Road, raised the matter once again at a Safer Neighbourhoods Team meeting earlier this year. Bounds Green's Liberal Democrat councillors John Oakes and Ali Demirci suggested that police produced crime statistics to support the campaign.
Councillor Oakes comments:
“I must pay tribute to the Safer Neighbourhoods Team, and the staff of the Council’s lighting department.”
