Local Lib Dem councillors have expressed dismay that Haringey Council is planning to demolish the "Log Cabin" in the park at the end of Falkland and Fairfax Roads. It was closed without warning within days of the Council election back in May on health and safety grounds. Harringay ward's two Liberal Democrat councillors were dismayed to discover that the Labour-run Council's consultation on the issue will not address the demolition, which will proceed no matter what the outcome.
Harringay Lib Dem Councillors Karen Alexander and Carolyn Baker are urging local residents to attend the Council's consultation session at the St. John the Baptist Church Hall in Frobisher Road., to be held on 19th October 2006 between 2 pm and 8 pm, to ensure the Council know how local people feel about their plans.
Councillor Alexander comments:
"The Labour council are not planning to ask residents about the decision to knock down the cabin, but instead are asking what should be done with the space. They have not promised a replacement community centre."
Councillor Baker comments:
"I think it is a shame that the decision to demolish the building was taken without consulting residents. Karen and I will be working hard to seek to ensure that the voices of residents are listened to during the consultation and also ensure that the council provides funding to make this space a real asset to the community."
