Congratulations to Tottenham Hale Labour Councillor, Sheik Thompson, who was elected the new Mayor of Haringey by 30 votes to 26 at last night's annual council meeting.
The new deputy mayor is Labour councillor for Bruce Grove ward, Councillor Dilek Dogus and our Borough's first Kurdish person in the Mayoral offices, so well done to Dilek.
All but one of the Councillors were present last night, former Lib Dem chief whip, Ron Aitken, was not present, either having got lost in coming back from Scotland where he stood in the Scottish Parliament elections (he was a "local" candidate you know) or just miffed that the Liberals have picked a new chief whip. So, Ron is now out of power, who will he defect to next? I mean he's been in almost any party that will have him, except Labour, and times may be slightly hard, but we ain't that desperate!!!
But all that aside, good luck to the new Mayoral team as they will do their best to represent the whole of Haringey in the year ahead.
