Councillor secures action on abandoned junction box

5.8.07

A 'Two Hour Notice' was served last week on Telewest for its abandoned junction box on Fairfield Gardens following complaints from residents and action championed by local Liberal Democrat councillor Lyn Weber.

The order requires immediate action from Telewest to fix the missing door or repair will be carried out by Haringey Council and billed to the company.

Councillor Lyn Weber comments:

"This is their kit but it is on our streets. Residents take a great deal of pride in their environment and so should the utility companies."

Councillor Winskill (Crouch End) added:

"Keeping on top of this sort of problem avoids neglected street syndrome; broken boxes attract litter which can attract other forms of anti-social behaviour."
