LABOUR managed to hold onto both seats on Haringey council in yesterday’s by-elections.
Noel Park was won by Stephen Mann for the party, while Peter Mitchell was elected for Labour in Woodside.
The Liberal Democrats came second in both seats, and the Conservatives came third in both wards.
Noel Park saw an overall turnout of 18 per cent, while Woodside recorded a 23 per cent turnout.

The full results for Noel Park were:
Labour – Stephen Mann, 1005
Liberal Democrats – Derin Adebiyi, 247

Green Party – Mike McGowan, 124
