Haringey Circle

It's staggering that there's thought to be over £30bn of lost pensions out there. Please share this especially with people who've had multiple jobs. Lets help people reconnect with their cash.

Well done @limebike for another really well-planned location, a Piccadilly traffic island with a crossing through the middle. Particularly good for disabled people and anyone pushing a buggy

We are increasingly concerned at Disability Action Haringey about government and Motability Foundation scheme changes and what they mean for disabled people. Our CEO Phil Stevens has written about some of the impact, but more worrying impacts are still emerging. We know this will affect people’s independence and daily lives. This is not reform. It’s the erosion of rights. @InclusionBarnet @InclusionLondon @camdenDisAction @Ruils @ChoiceinHackney @InIslington @RichardBurgon @Motability @MotabilityOps @DWP @johnpringdns Read more: d-a-h.org/index.php/get-…

Age UK London's #LondonAgainstAgeism campaign brings to light how ageism is embedded into older Londoner's everyday interactions, and the devasting impact it has on older people's confidence and wellbeing. This has to change, join and stand with #LondonAgainstAgeism.

NEWS! The govt has just announced its changing the Council Tax Debt Collection rules on the back of @mmhpi recommendations. Here's my official quote ----- Council Tax debt collection is so aggressive it’d make banks blush. It’s the most vicious and damaging form of legal debt collection out there - causing counterproductive misery for millions. We’ve spent the last 18 months campaigning hard to change this hideous system, and having seen so much pain caused by it, I’m genuinely moved by this huge first step towards making things better. Currently, in England, if you miss a monthly payment, many councils, within usually 3 weeks, demand payment for the entire year. How people who can’t find a month’s money are expected to find a year’s I don’t know. Yet if they can’t pay, within just three more weeks, they are often taken to court, have ‘admin costs’ added, and soon see bailiffs sent in. No commercial firm would be allowed to do anything close - constituents are treated worse than customers. The new rule from next April means councils must wait two months, not 3 weeks, to ask for a year’s money, and the ‘admin costs’ will be capped at £100. In a perfect world, it would be even longer and the lower cap would apply, but this is still a hugely welcome change to a 33-year-old process. For councils too, it is worth remembering that this grotesque system is often catastrophic for people’s finances and wellbeing, leaving many needing more help and support, and ultimately the same council having to pick up the pieces.

@celticbert Men are their own worst enemy in healthcare. Often triggered by not wanting to talk or show their body to a man.

Yesterday I went to a funeral of a work mate who passed away at the age of 46 with cancer. He had been bleeding from his back passage for near a year and didn't go to doctor because he was to embarrassed. Men please dont be embarrassed get any wee thing looked into

At @HaringeyCircle we think you should start by keeping bikes and motorbikes off our pavements - a menace to older and less mobile pedestrians! @MPSHaringey please also note.

So turns out the “London is collapsing” narrative isn’t grassroots at all. It’s being pumped out by bots, content farms, and foreign-aligned networks then laundered through politicians and media. Manufacture the fear. Repeat it enough. Turn it into policy.

E-scooters and e-bikes left on pavements are forcing blind people into the road. This isn’t just inconvenient — it’s dangerous. Public space must be safe for everyone — not just convenient for some. 🔗 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… #Accessibility #GuideDogs #InclusiveStreets #Blind

.@CityWestminster please confiscate these bikes. This is not safe, this is a trip hazard and an obstruction of the footway and accessible pedestrian crossings. They need to be locked and docked like the Santander ones. Nothing else will work.

How foolish!

🚲 London’s streets are full of e-bikes… and no one’s enforcing the rules We tested hire apps by parking bikes in the most absurd places. The results are alarming. Full story by Steve Bird & Jack Leather ⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/02/1…
