Tottenham Green Pools and Fitness and Marcus Garvey Library and Customer Service Centre remain closed. We continue to work with partners to reopen these services as soon as possible and provide alternative facilities for residents to use during the closure.
We are committed to keeping residents informed about our work to get the centre back up and running, and are pleased to provide the following update:
- In partnership with the College of Haringey, Enfield and North East London (CONEL), our libraries service has opened additional private study facilities over the Easter holidays to provide young people with a place to prepare for exams. No need to book – just turn up and study!
- The CONEL library (High Rd, N15 4RU) will be open from 9am to 5pm from Monday 3 April to Thursday 6 April and from Tuesday 11 April to Friday 14 April. People using the library will have access to computers, CONEL’s WiFi and a range of books to use on site. Please share this news with any young people you know who need somewhere quiet to study over the Easter holidays.
- Our libraries service has also provided an additional study room at St Ann’s Library (Cissbury Road, N15 5PU), open throughout library opening times.
- We are pleased to have received confirmation from Fusion Lifestyle today that, following a site visit from UK Power networks last week, the low voltage circuits which power the library, customer service centre, gyms, studios, soft play and nursery are now back on.
- As set out in last week’s update, Fusion is now getting underway with deep cleaning of facilities and equipment, as well as working to get equipment such as the air conditioning, the lift and the emergency lighting system back up and running.
- This process will clarify whether any additional repairs will be needed. At the same time, council officers will be testing our own equipment in the library and customer service centre. These activities will provide a clearer picture as to when the services will be able to reopen.
- As previously reported the pools will remain closed for the foreseeable future due to the highly complex repairs required to the high voltage system they rely on.
How to access services during the closure
For residents who need customer service support, we have increased capacity at Wood Green Customer Service Centre (187-197A High Road, Wood Green, N22 6XD) for the duration of the closure, while residents are also able to access customer services online or by phone on 020 8489 1000.

Books and other items borrowed from Marcus Garvey Library can be returned to any council-run library in Haringey.
