Your brand new Haringey Council cabinet

Cllr Bernice Vanier – Deputy leader, cabinet member for communities

Cllr Bernice Vanier remains the deputy leader, and is tasked with tackling anti-social behaviour, engagement with the police and equality. One of the most controversial moments of her last term came when her speech on the council’s efforts to regenerate Tottenham went down badly with family members at Mark Duggan’s memorial service. She said: "I think there was a bit of a misunderstanding. The family felt the service was about Mark, but from my perspective it was also about rebuilding Tottenham."

Cllr Strickland remains in post at the head of the borough’s regeneration projects, with a portfolio including housing policy, homelessness, Homes for Haringey and social landlords. He also oversees the Tottenham regeneration programme, and was criticised by the Liberal Democrat party earlier in the year for attending a property convention in the south of France in a bid to attract developers to Tottenham. The council defended the visit and said it was only right to try and attract the best developers to Tottenham.

His portfolio, a broad one, includes libraries, arts and culture, governance services, procurement and commercial partnerships, council tax, benefits and taxation.

Cllr Peter Morton – cabinet member for health and wellbeing

Peter Morton is the second councillor elected in May 2014 to make it straight through to the cabinet. A press officer for the Labour Party, Cllr Morton’s appointment as a Labour candidate in the St Ann’s ward was surrounded by controversy. Complaints were made to the London Labour group that votes for prospective candidates the vote was swung by "illegal" members who had no right to vote. The Labour Party considered the allegations and decided that the selection was "safe and run in accordance with Labour Party rules". Cllr Morton’s portfolio includes public health, adult social care, safeguarding adults, children to adult social care transition, and working with the borough’s NHS.
