Haringey Council failing to keep our streets clean

April 28, 2008 12:00 AM

Haringey has been branded as the dirtiest places in the country by a new survey. Figures compiled by the GMB union show that, out of 351 local authorities, Haringey was ranked bottom of the list with nearly a half of streets assessed as dirty. Local Liberal Democrats have criticised Haringey Council for failing to tackle the problem and have branded Haringey Council's performance as unacceptable.

Cllr Martin Newton, Lib Dem Environment Spokesperson, comments:

"Haringey Council should be embarrassed that our borough has been tarred with the dirtiest local authority in Britain badge. This is not a title we should be proud of. Once again it is the failure of Labour-run Haringey Council to tackle a problem that residents want them to solve. If they can't keep our streets clean then what can we trust them to do?"
