Over the last few weeks a number of people have contacted the local Liberal Democrat team, concerned that someone is living on the Parkland Walk in Stroud Green. Local residents were concerned the person has mental health problems and is damaging the nature area by pulling up bushes and plants.

Obviously, its completely unacceptable for someone to being living on the Walk – particularly if their behaviour is distressing residents and park users and causing damage. Even more worrying is that someone in a vulnerable state could be living in this way on our doorstep.

Cllr Richard Wilson says, “Since being alerted to this I’ve been in contact with the local police, the Council’s Parks Department, the Council’s Adult Social Care Department and Haringey’s mental health team to try to get some co-ordinated action from them. I’ve now been assured that steps will be taken very soon by all these agencies to get this person off the Parkland Walk.”

Fingers crossed that this intervention is a success and the person gets the help they need.
