Letter to all residents of Harringay - hopefully to go out over next few days to as many houses as I can muster!

April 2010
Dear resident of Harringay,
I hope you can take some time to read this small letter.
As you probably know, there are soon to be elections across the country – both a General Election and also the local Council elections here – probably on 6 May 2010.
I just want to take some time to explain my personal views on how I feel our democracy needs a shake-up and what matters here locally:
• I am running for the Council for the first time and at the age of 27, I want to bring youth and fresh (and real) honesty to a Council that has seen its reputation plummet across the nation (Victoria Climbié and Baby P - tragedies that must never happen again). Our democracy needs renewal (and locally vulnerable children need better protection).
• At a time when we are all feeling the pinch of Labour’s debt, I, locally, want to see Haringey residents pay less Council Tax. Labour has been leading the Council since 1971 – do you really think things have improved as they should here? In my view, Labour isn’t working.
• Schools across the Borough are unfairly disadvantaged in that they only receive outer-London funding – 27 out 66 Haringey schools face year-end deficits. That must surely have a bad effect on our children’s education?
• I want more funding for Harringay & St Ann’s Local Area Assembly.
• I know there are issues that concern you on the ladder roads including Wightman Road – let’s work together! For example, a CPZ review or crime reduction in Harringay passage).
I’ve got lots of ideas to help and I also pledge my full energy, enthusiasm and honest character to support and listen to all. I hope you can vote for me on Election Day for a new start in Harringay. Vote for Change!
