Inderwick Road to be fixed up as a result of Lib Dem action

Local people have long complained to local councillors about the state of the road surface, pavements and lighting in Inderwick Road.  Lib Dems councillors in the area jointly organised a petition with local resident Ben Myring to force the Labour council to take long-overdue action to fix up the road following years of neglect.

Inderwick Road is just one of many streets in need of repair; the council recently admitted that more than half of the footways in the borough need maintenance work.

Nearly 100 residents of Inderwick Road signed the Lib Dem petition to get the road fixed. Cllr Richard Wilson also recently brought the new Chief Executive of Haringey Council to Inderwick Road so he could see for himself how bad the road is, with potholes, uneven pavements and dilapidated lampposts.

As a result of the petition and pressure on the Labour council, the council has agreed to fix the pavements, resurface the road and improve the lighting on Inderwick Road.  The improvements will be made as part of the scheduled maintenance work due to take place over the next year.

Cllr Katherine Reece, Lib Dem councillor for Stroud Green, comments:

“Thank you to everyone who signed the petition and helped to make this happen. We will continue to work with residents and the local Lib Dem MP Lynne Featherstone to make sure that the Labour run council makes the improvements needed in Stroud Green and across the borough.

“It is a shame it was necessary to do this petition in the first place. The Labour council should be making sure that local roads and pavements are well maintained and not allow them to get into the state that Inderwick Road has gotten into.

“When residents are paying one of the highest council taxes in London they expect that basic things like fixing the streets and roads will happen.”
