A consultation on Haringey Council’s proposals to save £70m over the next three years has come to an end.

The Building a Stronger Haringey Together consultation gave people an opportunity to have their say on the council’s corporate plan, including proposals to save £70m.

The council has blamed the cuts on reductions in money from the Government.

Over 1,000 people returned feedback forms with more having their say at informal consultation sessions across the borough.

Any proposals that directly impact on service users will only be introduced following further consultation with those affected.

Haringey Council's leader Councillor Claire Kober said: “The response to the consultation has underlined the very strong pride and affection that people in Haringey feel for their borough and their services.

“Many of the proposals being brought forward are not what the council wants to do, but the scale of government cuts leaves us with little choice.

“This is by no means the end of the conversation, we will continue to talk to people across the borough and we remain committed to working together to support our communities.”

The council’s cabinet will consider proposals, including consultation feedback, on Tuesday, February 10 before final budget proposals go before the council on Monday, February 23.
