Ending hotel use for homeless families 🏡
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

Taking control of Lime bikes in Hornsey 🚲💪🌹
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

We said we would. We did. 🌹💪
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

Every council home in Haringey set for a major upgrade 🏡🔥🌹
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For too long, too many residents have had to put up with homes that simply weren’t good enough — damp, cold properties, outdated kitchens and bathrooms, and communal areas that haven’t been properly maintained.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

North Eight licence gone — a huge win for our community 🎉🚫🍻
After a long, determined campaign, we’re absolutely delighted to share that the licence for North Eight has now been terminated and the landlords have left. 🙌 This is a huge result for Hornsey — and one we’ve worked relentlessly to achieve. For far too long, residents were dealing with serious anti-social behaviour, late-night noise, and ongoing disruption. Families, school children, and local businesses were all being affected — and it was clear something had to change. So
