Really good to see Baroness Evans of Bowes Park celebrating our area and some notable local initiatives in her Maiden Speech at the House of Lords last week.
Making her first contribution to a Lords debate she said:
My first challenge on being given this honour was to select my title; not something I ever expected to do. I chose Bowes Park, the area in Haringey in which I have lived for over 10 years. The heart of Bowes Park is Myddleton Road, named after the constructor of the New River, which flows through the area and was built in 1613, providing London with fresh drinking water ever since. Once a bustling high street, Myddleton Road fell into decline for many years but it is now showing encouraging signs of regeneration, thanks to a passionate local community. A new open-air gym—part of our Olympic legacy—a regular street market and, most excitingly, the opening of a café and gallery by two local entrepreneurs, are all playing their part in helping to revitalise the area.
The focus of the debate was Education in the Arts - Baroness Evans went on in her speech to stress how important it is that schools ensure arts education and is made available to all school students.
