Transforming Tottenham consultation launched

Tottenham businesses and residents are being asked to submit ideas for transforming the landscape of the riot-hit area.

Haringey council has launched the consultation to find the best ways to obtain better-quality housing, improved public space, and to attract investment to the area.

Steps already include £10m earmarked for Sir Stuart Lipton to spend on improving the area, following the riots in August.

Councillor Alan Strickland, cabinet member for economic development and social inclusion, said: “We have spoken with hundreds of local residents and traders since the riots, and we are eager to hear from more as we draw up long-term plans for the transformation of Tottenham.”

The consultation ends on 6 January 2012. Its findings will contribute to a regeneration strategy due to be drawn up in the new year.

As part of its Building a Better Britain campaign,  Estates Gazette is planning to convene a regeneration commission, consisting of representatives from the public and private sectors.
