Road Safety on The Roundway
I first met my constituent, Abi, in 2024 after her fiancé, Mithun, was tragically killed in a crash on The Roundway. Since then, Abi has been tirelessly campaigning for improved road safety in Haringey.
I joined Abi in her calls for improved safety on our streets in Southgate and Wood Green, and continued to raise this with TfL and Haringey Council to push for change. Abi took this on herself, working with RoadPeace to further her campaign around the language used to discuss collisions. Abi even featured in RoadPeace’s guide for supporting constituents following car crashes.
By continously lobbying TfL and the Council, and even asking the very first question at the Mayor of London’s Question Time, Abi achieved real change in Mithun’s memory and made The Roundway safer for residents, pedestrians, and families. At the end of last year, Haringey Council announced 10 speed limit changes across the borough, including The Roundway.
This month, we met to mark the 20mph speed limit change here on The Roundway – a direct result of Abi’s campaigning. We also discussed further measures that could be taken to improve road safety in our local area, and I will continue to support these efforts.
How she has channelled her grief into action is nothing short of admirable. Well done, Abi.

Meeting with New Southgate Constituents
Following correspondence from many of my constituents in the area, I organised a public meeting in Bounds Green this evening. It was great to see representatives from the Council, City Hall, and the police join me to listen to constituent concern.
It is always good to meet more constituents of Southgate and Wood Green and hear their views on local issues.
After my follow up sent this morning, I will be raising your concerns and keeping everyone who attended updated. Thank you to everyone who came!
If there is a local issue you are concerned about, please email me at bambos.charalambous.mp@parliament.uk

Palmers Green Christmas Lights
Time to get in the Christmas spirit! 
This afternoon, I joined Cllr Doug Taylor and the Mayor of Enfield to turn on the Christmas lights in Palmers Green. The wonderful Christmas tree and festive lights along Green Lanes bring some magic to our high street.
Well done to all the local businesses, stewards, and schools who took part in today’s fantastic event. Merry Christmas everyone!
