Tottenham High Road strategy

Through a comprehensive consultation and engagement programme during 2017-2018, Haringey Council, residents and businesses in Tottenham worked together to develop a 10-year Strategy for Tottenham High Road 2019-2029 (pdf, 37 page(s), 1.46 MB) . The strategy provides a programme of proposals to improve the High Road, with particular focus on Bruce Grove and Seven Sisters, responding directly to local social and economic needs.

We spoke directly to over 1,000 people to identify the following priorities that the strategy will promote:

1. A unique identity for the High Road and its town centres, that celebrates the diversity of place, its communities, its heritage and its culture and promotes a perception of the place that people can be proud of.
2. A proud and resilient High Road with a strong local economy, stronger businesses and good quality jobs and includes a sustainable mix of retail, civic and leisure use during both day and evening.
3. Healthier, safer and greener places, streets and neighbourhoods, which are better connected and optimise opportunities for sustainable transport.
4. An approach to projects and interventions on the High Road which provides the skills and support for local communities and businesses to engage and have a sense of ownership of their area and opportunities to succeed in their work and live fulfilling lives.
5. An approach which attracts inward investment into the places and types of activities that have the greatest need and opportunity.

The strategy provides ideas for a range of projects to enhance the High Road for the benefit of its communities, including improvements to streets and spaces, environmental quality, transport, arts and cultural activities and heritage.

The strategy was approved by Haringey Council's Cabinet in 2019.
