Haringey Borough Council is one of the slowest local authorities in the country when it comes to fixing potholes, figures show.

The council came 151 out of 214 in a league table compiled by The National Cycling Charity.

Liberal Democrat councillor Jim Jenks said the council need to do more as people in the borough pay one of the highest rates of council tax in London.

He said: “Haringey being ranked as one of the worst places in the country for fixing potholes will come as no surprise to local residents.

“Despite the Labour leadership announcing their new policy of fixing potholes more quickly, there are potholes all over the place waiting to be filled in and they are dangerous for cyclists and damage vehicles.

“It is about time the Labour council stopped talking about fixing pot holes and just got on with it."

According to the table the authority has only fixed 100 of the 559 reported potholes and 457 remain unfilled.

Transport for London recently published figures showing the number of vulnerable road users seriously injured in Haringey has risen by 41 per cent in the past year.

A council spokesman said the council remains committed to meeting target to repair all the borough’s potholes.

She said: “We are currently carrying out more than 300 repairs each week – four times as many as before the blitz.

“We have seen an increase in electronic reporting of potholes in response to our campaign, and our neighbourhood action team officers have also been carrying out extra inspections.

“By the end of June, more than 70 per cent of the borough’s roads had been inspected and almost 1,200 repair jobs completed in line with new repair timescales.”

She added that the pothole repair blitz is on track to be completed but end of August.
