1) Crime & Policing

We know from our regular resident surveys, speaking with residents, and our own personal experiences living here, that many in Stroud Green are rightly concerned about crimes such as drug-dealing, anti-social behaviour, theft and more. We need visible neighbourhood policing, faster responses, and real action against repeat offenders here in Stroud Green.

We will work with police and communities to make our streets and parks safer, support victims, and ensure crime is tackled, not ignored.

2) Cost of Living & Housing

Residents of Stroud Green continue to be squeezed by the cost of living crisis, especially on things such as food, energy bills and in particular housing costs. 

We will push the council to use every power it has to support our residents through the cost of living crisis, target help at those struggling most with bills and everyday expenses, and do what we can to ensure our young people are given opportunities to prosper in life - not just get by.

We will focus on increasing the council's housing stock, ensuring that Haringey homes are free of damp and mould, and tackle Haringey's notorious housing repairs service so that issues are dealt with swiftly and correctly, not left for months on end, backed up by an automatic compensation scheme for residents.

3) Parks & Green Spaces

Our local parks and green spaces are vital for health, wellbeing and community life, and are part of what makes Stroud Green so amazing.

We want to see further investment in these spaces, from Stationers Park at the very top of the ward to Finsbury Park at the bottom, to make them safe and welcoming for everybody of every age, year round.

We would look to protect Finsbury Park by taking it out of Haringey Council's hands and putting it in an Independent Community Trust, giving control back to the community, and ensuring Haringey doesn't just use it to help mitigate their huge financial debts.
