Tottenham On Location Conference
By 2025, Haringey Council aims to bring more than 5,000 jobs and 10,000 new homes, as well as nearly 1million sq ft of new employment space to Tottenham. This afternoon On Location session will take a detailed look at this major strategic opportunity area for London.
With key discussions around Crossrail 2 moving forward, and with Haringey Council having submitted a Housing Zone bid for Tottenham Hale, this area is set to see huge change through an extensive regeneration programme which aims to make the most of improved links to central London.
An afternoon briefing will invite local stakeholders, including council representatives, developers, investors and occupiers to present forward strategies, infrastructure projects, major developments and future investment opportunities. This will be followed by afternoon study tours and networking drinks.

Now the event has taken place, then what more do we know about it?
For starters we know that New London Architecture didn't price it to encourage local people to book a place. Plus, there were a lot of the 'usual suspects' in the Tottenham Regeneration Project amongst the speakers and audience. And, the event was all about how wonderful the top-down development agenda is. But, that is not new information.
But thanks to a Freedom of Information answer, we have a little more detail about the event from the recorded information that Haringey Council holds.
The council says it holds information confirming the venue would be charging nla the sum of £385 for staffing and set up of the space. So, one booking effectively covers the hire cost. I guess that there were around 60 attendees, but some might have been freebies. Surely Nick Walkley and Cllr Alan Strickland didn't pay to attend and speak? So, if only 35 paying attendees then the income might be around £10,000.
nla asked the council for a recognisable image of Tottenham to advertise the event on their website. They end up using a cgi of the proposed tower block over Tottenham Hale tube station.
The original plan was to have the post-walks drinks at Tottenham Hotspur. So, nobody tell John McAslan that N17 Studio was not the first choice. Did Spurs decline, or did somebody have the inspired thought to suggest another community use of N17 Studio.
But the big revelation of the FOI is the claim that 'NLA apparently offered 40 complimentary places' with the hope some went to resident forums. Which will come as a shock to community groups in the regen warzone and I know of a few that didn't get any invite. The Our Tottenham network contacted the nla organiser to request five places, but only got one and Dave Morris went inside to put the case of residents.
Here is the link to the FOI answer

Any thoughts from others who were either outside protesting or were inside participating?

I counted 112 chairs before it began but then they had to bring in more. 40 free offers, dont know who got those, they were certainly not mentioned on the NLA website. I saw some councillors so they may have skipped the £360. Lunch and drinks after would have cost £x, supplied by Craving Coffee. The PA hire would have added some ££.
Nick Walkley did not earn his £150,000, his welcoming speech was about 30seconds.
Here's the first Q&A session.

Salary clarification: the "Annual Pay" of Haringey Council's Chief Executive was reported to me as £189,440.04; however on the same line in the spreadsheet, the minimum Salary range for Salary Scale "CEX" is £206,918.00 (data supplied in January).
