Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Facebook Page for Seven Sisters
"This community page is to encourage people living and working in Tottenham and Seven Sisters to connect and to help improve the area's negative image. Despite being a multi-cultural and diverse area, it lacks any real sense of community and togetherness. After the tragic riots of 2011, there is now a greater need to restore confidence in the area.

Thanks, good move, I was about to start one for Page Green but this will do better.
We also need to start a SoTo (South Tottenham) site in the style of and to complement HoL, I've said I'm interested in doing this and should soon have the time to begin to take that idea seriously.

Hiya - I'm planning to set up a SoTo twitter so would be really interested in your site, might even be able to contribute the odd bit of news if you'd be interested?
I already run a twitter feed for my immediate area, but it's under the name of one particular street which I think confuses people.

Thanks to you all so far. Only set it up a couple of weeks ago, before the Ward's Corner meeting. There's not much info at the moment, but I hope that the good (Tottenham) Friends that post here on HoL will start to contribute something there.
@ Pam, liked your for your comment on SSC.
@Tottenham Cake, go for it! There are probably many people who live in the area who want to do something and need to be connected.

I feel like SoTo is pretty well covered by HoL and it would be a shame to divide/dilute. That said, I would be happy to help with local stuff, I'm already editing the Tottenham NCT newsletter (print version), which covers N15 and N17 : )

There is overlap with many news items but I always feel I am squatting HoL as it is aimed at the Green Lanes area. eg the recent wild success of the food market was much helped by HoL but I can't see myself schlepping over to N22 for it very often. I would stroll as far as Pages Green, or a local school, if we could get similar started? First discussions of this came out of the WCCC and we thought South Tottenham is different from further up the High Rd, hence the sketched-in idea of a site for this area. And SoTo is a better abbrevaition than SS !

I found it a nice stroll over to the farmers market, but can imagine it's a bit of a stretch for some bits of SoTo. It'd be great to have something like that around 7Sis... say if there was a covered market-type area that could be used, maybe near the station... oh wait - ducks -

Yup, I combined it with a nice little trip to the Salisbury. Not sure I'd have gone solely to go to the market as it is a little bit out of the way, but on a nice weather day (and it doesn't look like we're every getting another of those again!) I guess I might stroll over.
I guess one of the SoTo schools would be the best bet if anyone had a contact at one of them. Stamford Hill School has a lovely big play area!

The Page Green RA is getting into gear and we have 'won' funding for a noticeboard, some garden work on Rangemoor Rd mini-green, and a street party. One of us is keen to work on the farmers market idea, on Pages Green (which is being tarted up with the one-way system work) or in a school yard. One /several reasons for our own more local site. We should be discussing this on 7Sis FB really.
(Page Green is the bit betwen Broad Lane and the SoTo railway line, from High Rd to the Ind Estate. Pages Green, I have just discovered, is the correct name for the green space alongside Broad Lane, where the Seven Sisters trees are planted.)

I broadly agree with you on this and would not stop reading HoL but I do think it's crazy that we don't yet have our own web presence, at all.

Compared with many other parts of London, there is a distinctly lack of a web presence about Tottenham. There are probably some good things happening in the area which needs better publicity... hopefully such a local website (or blog) will help to address that need.
