Well, most councils are in financial trouble because of 'the cuts', of course. I have no understanding of Haringey's finances at the moment at all, except that they didn't cause such a catastrophe as what happened in Hackney. When I had anything to do with Haringey, it was only about traffic projects, and they certainly weren't very good back then, although no worse than some other local authorities, but that's the extent of my knowledge of that council.

The implication that Haringey isn't financially a mess is laughable.
Haringey's response to being in a financial quandary is just to under-invest in everything.
I suspect Haringey would sell all of the housing if it could just be arsed to invest in the cost of doing so.
