Haringey Labour doesn’t like its own record on housing
Consider the following pair of facts:
- The Labour leader of Haringey Council complaining there is not enough housing in the borough for council tenants.
- Labour-run Haringey Council hasn’t built any new council homes for 25 years, even though there are fully-costed plans available to do just that.
Somehow I don’t think the Labour councillors complaining about the shortage of housing are going to be mentioning how they voted against the proposals to build an extra 100 just a few months ago or indeed their poor record on putting empty homes back into use…
Then they should be hammered on their record from now until theĀ London Borough elections next year. Who can remember how Simon Hughes used to such great effect in his early years of campaigning in Bermondsey š
Peter KempĀ Quite!
