Liberal Democrat success for Highgate

4.27.00pm UTC (GMT +0000) Thu 24th May 2007

Continued pressure by Liberal Democrats in Highgate has been rewarded with a promise by Haringey Council's Urban Environment department to spruce up some rundown planters in Highgate. In April councillors requested a Council 'Spring Clean' to provide a more attractive environment. Planters and raised beds on the junctions with Hornsey Lane Gardens and Milton Park amongst others will now be revamped by 27th May 2007.

The Council has also assured Cllr Bob Hare that the area will be included in the Open Space Improvement Plan for 2007/08 to improve the area further.

Cllr Bob Hare, Lib Dem Spokesperson on Green Issues, comments:

"This is great news. I am glad we have been able to make progress towards these sorry looking planters and the raised beds getting a new lease of life. They will make the area much more attractive."
