Draft Local Plan consultation
Have your say on our Draft Local Plan and help us shape the future of Haringey. The consultation is open until 19 December.
Tottenham Voices
Tottenham Voices was a collaboration between Tottenham's communities, the council, and partners to develop priorities for shaping Tottenham’s future.
Tottenham voices built on the conversations we had with the community over the previous few years about their experiences of Tottenham, with an increased focus on speaking to groups we had not heard from yet.
Tottenham Voices summary and engagement outcomes
Tottenham Voices came to a close in December 2023 after 6 weeks of:
- in-depth community engagement
- pop-ups
- drop-in events
- workshops
- DJing sessions
- a football tournament
Hundreds of young people, schools, businesses, creators, council partners and local heroes were involved.
It’s been inspiring listening and working collaboratively with communities across Tottenham on shaping aspirations for its future, aligning with our Haringey Deal approach and we are grateful to everyone who contributed their time, energy and ideas to the programme.
A summary of what we have heard through the engagement is now available and a full engagement report on findings is currently being produced and will be published soon.
Shaping Tottenham
In March 2024 we brought back a number of local and strategic partners, community leaders and representatives from the business community to test the emerging themes for Shaping Tottenham. This was an important step along the way to developing the strategy and brought some energising and thought-provoking discussion.
Using your feedback from Tottenham Voices, we are now developing the Shaping Tottenham strategy. This will take what we’ve heard and build a placemaking plan that underpins how we work with partners and residents in Tottenham moving forward.
What's next?
We will formally launch Shaping Tottenham in January 2025 with all our partners and community members involved in its development. The outputs focus on the next 10 years across placemaking for Tottenham and enable us to better harness the opportunities from London Borough of Culture 2027, Euro 2028 and beyond for Tottenham and its communities.
