A Local Councillor is your representative within the council. Haringey is divided up into nineteen ‘wards’ or areas. These wards are:
Alexandra, Bounds Green, Bruce Grove, Crouch End, Fortis Green, Harringay, Highgate, Hornsey, Muswell Hill, Noel Park, Northumberland Park, St.Ann’s, Seven Sisters, Stroud Green, Tottenham Green, Tottenham Hale, West Green, White Hart Lane, and Woodside.
Each ward has three representatives on the council – these people are known as ‘Local Councillors’ or ‘Ward Councillors’. When you vote in the local elections you don’t just vote for one person – you can vote for up to three people who you think will represent your ward best. Local councillors are usually members of political parties. |
