Haringey Liberal Democrats

Today is , a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, & political achievements of women, and reflect on how much further we still need to go.

Our ongoing commitment to gender equality continues and is a key part of what makes us Lib Dems.

Read a message from Lib Dem MP Christine Jardine at this link:

Reflecting on the year’s International Women’s Day theme of “accelerate action”, I am sadly reminded of how much more we still need to achieve.

Haringey’s Liberal Democrat group is planning a radical shake-up of power if it wins control of the council following the May election.

The borough's biggest opposition group wants to change the way the council is governed from a cabinet system to a committee system, devolve power to residents and make it easier for people to access council services.

The Liberal Democrats also plan to invest more in environmental measures and youth services, build a wider range of housing, and scrap a costly revamp of Haringey Civic Centre in Wood Green that it has dubbed a “vanity project”.

Labour has the wrong priorities.

During a cost-of-living crisis, Haringey should not be splashing £54 million on new offices for itself.

Haringey Liberal Democrats are clear: STOP the £54 million vanity project and invest in our cash-strapped children's services, mental health provision, and interventions to stop our youth being sucked into the spiral of violent crime.

That is how you build a fairer Haringey.

Haringey Council's cabinet agreed on further funding for the Wood Green Civic Centre.
