Cllr Emily Arkell 🌈

🧵 Last night I secured @haringeycouncil Cabinet’s approval to establish Haringey Culture Collective - a new charitable company limited by guarantee to deliver the London Borough of Culture in 2027🎵 🎭 1/3

🛝I visited Priory Park again this afternoon & it was busy! 🌳Wonderful to see children enjoying their summer holidays at the new playground - socialising & playing 👏🏻@haringeycouncil has delivered five new playgrounds in 2025 with another 11 in the pipeline - can’t wait! 🎉🎊

We've called for the nationalisation of the water industry. The government has undertaken the most radical overhaul of the industry in a generation - but we're asking them to go that one step further. If you'd like to read our Motion in full - minutes.haringey.gov.uk/documents/s152…

Thanks to everyone who spoke to us on the #LabourDoorstep in Bounds Green this morning 🌹 I’ll be in touch with residents with updates about: 🚗 parking 🌳 overgrown trees 🗑️ bins & ⚡️ broken electric sockets

Following a meeting with representatives from our Muslim communities in Haringey, Bibi Khan and I have written to the Foreign Secretary calling for: - Recognition of a Palestinian state - An end to arms sales to Israel Our communities are urging the government to step up.

“Councils all across the country are at breaking point when it comes to their housing supply.” Florence Eshalomi, Labour chair of the Housing Committee, tells #R4Today she is awaiting answers from the government on whether enough new social homes will be built.

Running throughout the school holidays, the #SummerReadingChallenge is a #fun & #free activity for all children aged four to 11. This year’s #StoryGarden theme focuses on the great #outdoors & #nature, with kids uncovering enchanting #landscapes! More ℹ️: bit.ly/4lTXrgw

Six #Haringey #schools have each won up to £10K to green their grounds 💷 From wildflower meadows to veggie gardens, these projects will boost biodiversity and bring nature into learning 🌱 🔗 haringey.gov.uk/news/20250722/…

Last night at Full Council we passed a motion recognising the Latin American community as an official ethnic group. This is a huge moment for Latin Americans in Haringey. Not only is the iconic Seven Sisters Market re-opening, but they can now proudly identify as Latin American

This is a long overdue and vital move - I was on the picket lines in 84/5 and Orgreave clearly felt set up *politically*: either we need answers from the intelligence and policing record to achieve generational justice

We love our parks & green spaces as much as our residents do. That's why we're requesting that they & visitors to our borough either dispose of their rubbish in the bins provided or take it home with them. Let's keep our parks clean & pristine - how they're meant to be seen. 🚮
