Anger over security door delay

Councillor Catherine Harris with the offending door

Noel Park Councillor Catherine Harris is calling for urgent action to install working security doors on the Sandlings Estate, as residents' complaints flood in. Residents on the Estate have been waiting for the doors to be replaced since March, yet Labour-run Haringey Council has seemingly taken no action to provide them with much-needed security.

Councillor Catherine Harris comments: "I have visited the estate several times since May and found security doors with wires hanging out and panels missing. One was even nailed open when I visited last week. I am concerned that elderly and vulnerable residents who have raised this issue with me are being ignored by the Council.

"I have raised this issue repeatedly and had no satisfactory answer as to why the doors are taking so long to be replaced. I urge Haringey to take action to ensure the safety of its residents."
