Lib Dem statement on departure of Haringey CEO, Andy Donald

13 Nov 2026

"We thank Andy Donald for his role in stewarding Haringey Council over the past few years, and in particular for helping in the turnaround of Haringey's infamous children's services to 'outstanding'. We wish him the best for his retirement.

"The council's current position on many fronts is, quite frankly, perilous, and the incoming CEO must quickly get a grip on the situation, not least the council's finances, and Haringey's housing service, whose failings were highlighted so starkly in the scathing Regulator of Social Housing adjudication. Their appointment will be absolutely crucial to the future of the borough and should be considered with great care to ensure they can drive the turnaround the council needs."
