Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Wordles from candidate videos
I'll be writing a little more over the nest few days on what I think the candidates are saying. One of the things I've done is to make Wordles of my content analysis of what the candidates in the two main parties in Harringay Ward said in the video interviews (And yes, I could do all parties in both words, but to be honest I just don't have the time).
I've done my best to honestly and fairly represent the issues that the candidates focussed on. I think the diagrams give a good accounting, but I'm the first to admit that they haven't been developed out of a scientific process.
The bigger the word or phrase, the more it was mentioned:
First the Lib Dems:
Now the Labour one:
PS: Kerry, our Green candidate did the spade work for herself and has added a transcription of her video here.

Traffic conspicuously absent from the socialist manifesto for Haringey. I suspect they make a lot of money out of us having cars.

Good idea Hugh.
I noticed Clegg mentioning the blight of 'house conversions' into bedsits last night on the Leader's Debate. Unfortunately all three leaders had little of use to say about how to tackle the lack of affordable housing problem.

Here is how to tackle the "affordable housing" problem in Haringey,
Compulsorily purchase all houses from Sydney down to Frobisher. Demolish these houses, build high density housing (sort of happening anyway with many "extensions").
Build houses on all the parks.
Wait 10 years, repeat with higher density housing.
Is it a problem of not enough supply or too much demand?

Supply
The Barker report (2004) stated that 295,000 private homes need to be built per year
The most recent Department of Communities statistics show annual housing completions in England totalled 118,000 in the 12 months to December 2009, down by 17% on the previous year. source
Demand
More than two million people have been added to the UK population in the last seven years (source). Divorce and people living longer add to housing demand.
