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

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

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For too long, too many residents have had to put up with homes that simply weren’t good enough — damp, cold properties, outdated kitchens and bathrooms, and communal areas that haven’t been properly maintained.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

A HUGE moment for Haringey!

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

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

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

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
