In October 2013, we commissioned independent community engagement experts Soundings to carry out the 5-month Tottenham’s Future consultation, as part of our commitment to placing local residents' priorities at the heart of our regeneration plans. The consultation received more than 3,700 responses. These responses helped form the strategy that underpins the Tottenham regeneration programme – the strategic regeneration framework (SRF).
The strategic regeneration framework (SRF) is a landmark 20-year vision for the future of Tottenham. It sets out how local people’s priorities could be achieved through long-term regeneration. The SRF was agreed by the council’s cabinet on 18 March 2014.
The SRF sets out 7 key priorities:
- World-class education and training – including new schools, better access to apprenticeships and more Tottenham young people attending university.
- Improved access to jobs and business opportunities – attracting major investment and encouraging local business growth to boost employment.
- A different kind of housing market – improving existing homes and building new, high-quality homes to meet demand at a range of prices and tenures.
- A fully connected community with even better transport links – continuing to improve rail, Tube and bus links, being a Crossrail 2 destination, as well as opening up Tottenham to more walking and cycling routes.
- A strong and healthy community – improved healthcare facilities, reduced crime and strong social networks for young people.
- Great places – putting Tottenham’s character and heritage centre-stage while creating better public spaces to meet, shop and have fun.
- The right investment and quality development – building partnerships and securing money to achieve these priorities with a focus on high-quality design.
Strategic Regeneration Framework delivery plan
The SRF Delivery Plan was created to deliver, and track, the aspirations captured in the SRF. The first Delivery Plan was created in 2014. It was then updated every summer from 2015 to 2017. In 2018, it was superseded by Haringey Council's Borough Plan.
