Wards Corner Human-Chain Demonstration
Saturday 19th July 2008
2pm - Wards Corner
Above Seven Sisters Tube Station (High Road Exit)
Be Seen. Be Heard. Your Support is Vital. Come and Join In!
Lets show we are a diverse community we are proud to belong to! Lets form a human chain around Wards Corner and give her a hug!
Private developers have applied to demolish this historic and important site, evict the thriving latin american market and local family businesses there, and build a 'clone town' development of gated luxury flats and corporate chain stores. Their application has been scheduled to be put before the Council's planning committee on Thursday July 24th.
There has been widespread public opposition including the largest public meeting organised by Tottenham residents for decades. Members of local residents associations in co-operation with the market traders, local businesses and community groups of all kinds have worked together to develop a genuine Community Plan for the protection, restoration and regeneration of the site and surrounding area.
Now is the time to link hands and stand shoulder to shoulder to defend Tottenham's communities and heritage.
The Wards Corner Community Coalition campaigns for the community-led regeneration of Seven Sisters through:
- Development of locally-based businesses and the talents of local people
- Strengthening and empowering local communities
- Active respect for diverse cultures, social groups and people of all ages
- Conservation and celebration of local heritage and history
- The highest standards of environmental and social sustainability
- Rejection of big business, 'clone' solutions to local needs
- Development of the cultural, recreational and artistic life of the area
Let’s protect and develop what is special about Tottenham. Let’s Plan for the Community.
