Haringey Council's Cabinet Member for Resident Services & Tackling Inequality extended the nuisance vehicle removal contract with Marston (Holdings) Limited until November 2026, a decision made on 19 November 2025. This £1,117,720 extension allows for a feasibility assessment into bringing the service in-house, while securing a £14,479 saving for the borough. The council aims to inform its long-term strategy beyond 2026.

In October 2025, the Cabinet Member approved £1.99 million for free school meal vouchers for eligible children during school holidays, funded by the government's Household Support Fund. Separately, in July 2025, the Cabinet Member was questioned at a Full Council meeting about increasing fly-tipping in Queen's Wood, leading to Haringey Council investigating the issue.
