Vandals have daubed black paint over signs for what used to be Black Boy Lane in Tottenham, just a day after they were changed because of 'racist connotations’

The council acknowledged that while many were in favour of the change others were firmly against it.

Cllr Peray Ahmet, Leader of Haringey Council, said: “I’m delighted that we’re able to pay tribute to John La Rose with a new street name. "While every effort is being made to ensure the transition is as smooth as possible, we recognise the name change will cause some disruption for residents, so I’m pleased that we’re able to make a £300 voluntary payment to affected households.
