Do you know what is happening to the Town Hall?

The Council has leased the Town Hall site to Hong Kong-based, Cayman Islands-registered Far East Consortium for 130 years. Overwhelming local objections at

consultation have been ignored. This is our last opportunity to have our voices heard.

What you can do: Make your comments or objection online at www.planningservices.haringey.gov.uk (search for ref: HGY/2017/2220 or Hornsey Town Hall)

For more details, or to download a sample objection letter, go to WHPRA.com

Plans have been submitted for a long overdue restoration of this unique building, but as part of the bargain the private developer is squeezing in

6 & 7 storey apartment blocks with no affordable housing or local infrastructure. 500 new residents plus 130 people per night in their hotel will increase pressure on

already stretched bus services, schools, doctors’ surgeries and more.

This is Crouch Enders’ only chance to influence the planners and get the restoration we want. We have until 26 September 2017. Below is a list of possible issues and how you can object:
