Yesterday (7.3.17) in the shortest ever cabinet meeting, Haringey leadership voted to ignore and dismiss mass protest, councillors, unions and public concerns over cabinet plans to hand over public assets to a private developer through the creation of Haringey Development Vehicle #HDV. 

In a box ticking exercise a small cabinet of 9 members plow on driving a head the HDV plans, despite large number of councillors on both sides having grave concerns regarding the risks attached to such a deal, and the secure future of residents set to loose their homes and their tenancies in the first phase of the so called ‘REGENERATION’ of Northhumberland Park.  

We’ve heard the same old sound bites of empty reassurances, and excuses that no one believes over and over again –  repeating something does not make it true but rather raise suspicions. 

It must be asked why would the cabinet be so reluctant to side with their own party members, who asks for more scrutiny and caution when it comes to such an important decision which will effect so many lives?

The other question that comes to mind is; What is the rush? 

The meeting which was originally scheduled to 7:00pm actually took place an hour earlier at 6:00pm. Watch the meeting here
