Fighting to show what urban development for people, not profit, can look like | @n15devtrust highlighting People Powered Development and how Community Shares can play a part in regeneration plans
Look forward to watching this space … https://t.co/3gahnbMZBk
❗️❗️❗️This is an absolutely incredible victory for @n15devtrust, @LatinVillageUK, the Seven Sisters market traders, and countless others. ¡Si se puede!
Grainger are OUT! And @haringeycouncil new Leader @perayahmet has backed the @Wards_Corner community plan! This is the end of a terrible chapter, and the beginning of something wonderful for all of Tottenham! Please join @n15devtrust as we work together to deliver the plan.
Moving forwards, traders have been left destitute by the ongoing closure of the market and urgently need financial support from @MayorofLondon & @TfL until a temporary market is in place. Longer term, the community needs clarity on the future of the site.
Grainger state their withdrawal is due to a "small but vocal minority" - by which they mean the 1,000's of you who objected to their scheme, funded legal challenges and took to the streets to prevent the destruction of our community.
Congratulations to you all: resistance works
💥 !! ANOTHER CITY IS POSSIBLE !! 💥
We are ecstatic to announce that after 15 years of struggle, Grainger have withdrawn from Wards Corner and @haringeycouncil have given their full support to the community plan!!
This is a huge victory in the fight for a fairer city -
Grainger's withdrawal marks the end of 15 years of neglect, fear and uncertainty for traders, residents and businesses.
The community plan is a viable scheme which has already achieved planning permission - we hope to move as quickly as possible to restore the Wards buildings.
The Trust is ready to work with all parties to deliver the community plan and calls upon @SadiqKhan & @TfL to collaborate with us in securing a future for the site which benefits everyone in Tottenham. We also reiterate our urgent call for financial support for affected traders.
We are excited to announce that following Grainger's withdrawal from the Wards Corner site, @haringeycouncil have committed to working with us to implement the community plan!
This is a major victory for the community - read our joint statement here:

Guess the leader @CllrEjiofor wasn't referring to Empty Council stock . Empty properties for over 9 months . It's not what the public see from the outside (Street Level ) , it's what us residents see from the inside .
