Given the uninspiring prospect of the same team winning the local elections in Haringey yet again (even if it's kind of the same team, because they've disappeared the last lot), maybe we should just…Continue

The Mayor's Office will be announcing the winners of the 'London Borough of Culture' pot next week. Haringey put in a bid - but I can't remember if I ever saw it, or whether it was published at…Continue

Sainsbury's arrives in Hornsey

It's been a whole day since another bloody supermarket opened, and no one's posted yet, so... will people use it? Is the free parking too tempting to resist? Can I be bothered to climb the forbidding…Continue

"Yes, I was considering running as an anti-teacher pro-arse hole candidate. Having read the facebook string I suspect I'd have picked up a few votes."
Adrian Essex replied to Mark Crouch End's discussion Municipal Borough of Hornsey election results 1964-2014
"Political debate is alive and well and living on Facebook.
I posted a note suggesting that it would be a good thing to vote anyone but Labour. In response I got (inter alia) the snippet below. In debating terms, I count that a win. But rather…"

Municipal Borough of Hornsey election results 1964-2014
Given the uninspiring prospect of the same team winning the local elections in Haringey yet again (even if it's kind of the same team, because they've disappeared the last lot), maybe we should just bring back Hornsey and send Haringey back to oblivion. At least the winning side changes every now and again...So here's a list of the local election results we could have had (using the present wards of Crouch End, Fortis Green, Harringay, Highgate, Hornsey, Muswell Hill & Stroud Green, and…See More
Mark Crouch End replied to Adrian Essex's discussion #HTHBadDeal - even the most sober of judges would think @HaringeyCouncil were barking mad
"A JR can be about any public authority decision, large or small. But time limits apply - and the decision to dispose of the TH was taken in June 2015... nearly 3 years ago.
There was a shot at overturning planning, but no case. An argument over the…"
Mark Crouch End replied to Adrian Essex's discussion #HTHBadDeal - even the most sober of judges would think @HaringeyCouncil were barking mad
"Alas the sale won't be under proper scrutiny unless it's a JR on the deal. Which it isn't, it's just about minor planning procedure.
There is an irony here of course - clearly one thing which irks people are the numbers of…"
Mark Crouch End replied to Mark Crouch End's discussion Restaurant corner. Salve, Paesan
"Enjoyed that.
Disappointing food with pretensions to authenticity. Should do well here."
Sean Boyle replied to Mark Crouch End's discussion Restaurant corner. Salve, Paesan
"Let's hope, then, that Paesan has learned some lessons since the scorching review of their Exmouth Market site by Marina O'Loughin in the Guardian a few years…"

"Don't knock the TfL money, it's all we're ever going to get.
The defining mission of Haringey has been to extract as many golden eggs as it can from the detested Hornsey part of the borough, to centralise as much as they can in Wood…"
Adrian Essex replied to Mark Crouch End's discussion Mayor's Good Growth Fund, money for Wood Green
"And Mark refers to "Mayoral largesse" which actually is taxpayer largesse, Sadiq is only redistributing what he gets in. Which is fair enough, that's how taxation works. But if Crouch End never gets anything except cycle lanes…"
Adrian Essex replied to Mark Crouch End's discussion Mayor's Good Growth Fund, money for Wood Green
"The press release Mark has linked to has the heading "Schemes to benefit all Londoners including BAME communities " , which is an interesting use of language. It would have caused a bell or a buzzer on 'Many a Slip' for what…"

Another helping of Mayoral largesse announced today, £24m for regeneration projects in London under the banner Good Growth Fund. I quote - "the successful projects will deliver social and economic improvements including investment in community assets, workspaces, green infrastructure and cultural venues."Mountview's Peckham project got a slice, and round…See More

"Somewhat belated news on this one, and apols if everyone else knows this -
The application was refused back at the end of 2016, however I missed the fact that the applicant took it to appeal. And, on November 30th 2017, successfully overturned…"
Alan Stanton replied to Mark Crouch End's discussion Sarah Elliott defects, boo/hurrah (*delete as appropriate)
"A small correction if I may. I wasn't actually "booted out" of the Haringey Labour Group of councillors. Having been elected for four terms from 1998 onwards I'd decided 16 years was enough. And although I was on the right-wing…"

Clive Carter replied to Mark Crouch End's discussion The Dear Leader, Great Helmsman and Supreme Symbol of the People, and Haringey Council democracy
"The Opposition are completely irrelevant.
Mark no, this is incorrect.
I've come to realise just how important it is to have an Opposition, because they're not irrelevant. Possibly the best example of this, is the event that occurred just…"
