A brand new Neighbourhood Health Centre is coming to Hornsey — bringing better, faster healthcare right to residents’ doorsteps and serving people across Hornsey, Crouch End, Wood Green and wider Haringey.

This week, Haringey reached a major milestone:we’ve now ended the use of hotels as temporary accommodation for homeless families. That matters, because behind every policy, there are real lives. At Full Council recently, Adam spoke about a young lad in Hornsey - let’s call him Ali. Seventeen years old, sharing a one-bedroom flat with his parents and three siblings. Sleeping in the lounge. No space to study. No room of his own. This is what the housing crisis looks like in rea

We know Lime Bikes have been a big issue locally. For a long time, residents told us the same things about Lime bikes — dumped on pavements, blocking access, that constant ticking noise from tampered bikes, and a sense that things were getting out of control. ⚠️ We heard you. And we acted! Over the past year, we’ve: 👉 Installed new designated parking bays across Hornsey 🚲📍 👉 Pushed for stronger enforcement against badly parked bikes ⚖️ 👉 Worked with the council to get a

Last month, we looked back at what we promised in 2022 — and what we’ve delivered. This week, we’re proud to launch our  new manifesto for 2026–2030 . You can read the full document here. This is more than a list of policies. It’s a commitment — to build a  fairer, safer and greener Haringey , and to put residents at the heart of every decision we make. A borough that stands together 🤝 At a time when division and extremism are on the rise, Haringey stands differently. We are

A momentous occasion for children in Haringey.

Looking back at our 2022 promises — and what we’ve delivered... Next week, we’ll be launching our new manifesto for Haringey. But before we do that, it’s worth taking a moment to look back at what we said in 2022 — and what we’ve actually delivered since. Because in politics, promises matter. But delivery matters more. We made big commitments — and we’ve delivered real results 🙌 In 2022, we said we would build  3,000 council homes by 2031 . Today, we’ve already delivered ove

This is a huge moment for our borough. Haringey is now a major step closer to delivering a £570 million programme to upgrade every single council home — improving around 20,000 homes across the borough. Every home. Every resident. No one left behind. 🙌 For too long, too many residents have had to put up with homes that simply weren’t good enough — damp, cold properties, outdated kitchens and bathrooms, and communal areas that haven’t been properly maintained. We’ve heard tho

After months of campaigning, conversations, and sustained pressure by Dana, Elin and Adam as your Labour Councillors, we’re really pleased to share that  new measures have now been installed to tackle speeding on Rokesly Avenue . 🙌💚 This started with residents 🗣️ For years, residents have been raising serious concerns about speeding, unsafe driving and near-misses on Rokesly Avenue. We’ve heard it time and again: ➡️ cars travelling well over 20mph ➡️ difficulties crossing

A HUGE moment for Haringey!

It’s been another full-on week across the ward, from casework and committees to door knocking and community meetings. Take a look at my quickfire 1-minute video with some of the highlights 🎥👇 But here’s a snapshot of what I’ve been up to: Out in the community 🏡 A big part of the week has been spent speaking directly with residents, whether on the doorstep, in meetings or out and about across the ward. 👉 Met with a constituent to talk about community cohesion and how we st

Stepping up to make our roads safer!

Haringey has officially been taken off the housing regulator’s watchlist and is now back in compliance.

We're bucking the national trend and reducing rough sleeping in Haringey.

After a year of campaigning, countless emails from residents, site visits, council questions and meetings with Cabinet Members and the Highways team… we’re absolutely delighted to share that Priory Road has officially been reduced from 30mph to 20mph — effective this week! 🙌💚 This change has been a major priority for residents living on Priory Road and the surrounding streets. So many of you have spoken to us about dangerous speeds, near-misses, and several serious incid

We know that speeding on our residential roads is a major concern for many of you, and we want to thank all the residents who’ve been in touch — especially those living on and around Nightingale Lane and Rectory Gardens . Your reports, emails and conversations with us have been vital in pushing this forward. 🙏 We’re really pleased to let you know that we have now secured formal speeding assessments for both streets. 🚗💨📊 These assessments will allow the council to colle

I loved getting out and celebrating Small Business Saturday across Hornsey this weekend — a great chance to support the brilliant independent shops, cafés and traders that make our area so special. 🙌🏼 I started with a delicious lunch at Els Olive Café 🫒 (highly recommend the börek!), swung by Middle Lane Market for a festive mince pie 🥧, and then headed to FreshFields to pick up bread for dinner 🥘. And a big shout-out to more of Hornsey’s fantastic local businesses an

We had a fantastic time in Priory Park this week, planting new trees as part of the park’s ongoing regeneration. With the upgraded playground now open and already being enjoyed by families across Hornsey, this next phase brings even more life, shade and nature into the space. Cllr Dana Carlin and Cllr Adam Small joined local children — and the brilliant council tree team (thank you Dan and Anne!) — to plant a series of new trees around the playground 🌱🙌🏼. These trees wi

Thank you to everyone on Rokesly Avenue who took part in our road safety and speeding survey earlier this year. We had over 30 responses from 28 households , and the message was: speeding and unsafe driving are major concerns for residents. Your feedback paints a worrying picture. Only 10% of respondents feel the road is consistently safe, while 90% say it is safe only sometimes — or not at all. Many residents reported witnessing drivers travelling well above 20mph , parti

This week I was proud to join the Haringey Walk for Women — a powerful and inspiring event bringing our community together to stand against violence against women and girls (VAWG) . It was moving to walk alongside residents, campaigners, local organisations and colleagues, all united in calling for safety, respect and equality for every woman and girl in our borough 💜. These events matter. They show that as a community we are not willing to stay silent, look away or accept

The Council is updating the way estate parking is managed across Haringey. The current system is more than 20 years old and no longer works effectively — especially as national legislation has changed and privately-managed enforcement is no longer fit for purpose. A new, modernised scheme is now being proposed, and Hornsey estates will be part of Phase 4 of the consultation , running from 10 November to 15 December 2025 . This is your chance to help shape how parking works

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been out on a series of estate inspections with council officers and local residents, visiting a number of blocks across the ward — including Chasewater, Elgar, Tennyson, Moore, Audley and Harvey . These walkabouts are an important way for us to see issues first-hand and make sure nothing gets missed. Together, we picked up a wide range of repairs and maintenance concerns, including: 🔧 fixing broken lights and communal fixtures 🧹 improved cle

Remembrance Sunday is always an important and reflective day. We were honoured to represent Hornsey at several services across the borough where we could pay our respects to those from Hornsey who gave their lives so we could enjoy the freedoms we too often take for granted. We began the morning at the Hornsey War Memorial on Park Road , where we laid a wreath on behalf of Haringey Labour , alongside our Hornsey and Friern Barnet MP Catherine West. It was a dignified and tho

Haringey is beginning an exciting piece of work to reimagine our streets — making them safer, greener, and more sustainable for everyone. Following Cabinet approval in July 2025, we’re now launching engagement on the draft Kerbside Strategy and Electric Vehicle (EV) Strategy . From Monday 6 October , residents, stakeholders, community groups and councillors will all be invited to help shape the future of how our streets are used 🛣️🌱. Your feedback will play a central role

The council has now published the Draft Local Plan , setting out a long-term vision for how Haringey will grow and evolve over the next decade and beyond. This includes a dedicated section for Hornsey , based on what residents told us during the earlier “First Steps” engagement in 2020/2021. It’s important to say that the Draft Local Plan does not mean development is being approved or that the council is actively bringing these sites forward. Instead, the Plan sets out a fra

We recently met with Cabinet Member Cllr Ruth Gordon and council officers for a site visit along Tottenham Lane to look at several projects currently underway or being planned for the area. It was a really helpful opportunity to see everything on the ground and talk through how these pieces can fit together. There are a number of improvements in progress, including: the proposed redevelopment of the Lotus site plans for a cycle lane on Tottenham Lane finishing works around

We’re really pleased to share that the damaged pavement outside the Garage on Nightingale Lane has now been fully replaced — and it’s already making a big difference for local residents. This section of pavement had become a serious accessibility problem , especially for: disabled residents wheelchair users families with prams anyone trying to cross the entrance safely Thanks to residents raising concerns with us, we pushed for urgent action. The works have now been complete
