Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Stop St Ann's Sell-off Meeting Organised
From the Haringey Needs St Ann's Campaign:
Barnet Enfield and Haringey Mental Health Trust want to sell off two-thirds of NHS land at St Ann’s to property developers. But neither the Trust nor Haringey Council have done a proper assessment to see what health services
Haringey people need now and in the future. Already people travel miles to the nearest casualty department, residents can’t get a GP appointment and mental health services at St Ann’s are buckling under the strain.
Ten thousand new homes planned for Haringey will add to this pressure.
What we want
Residents are calling for:
- A walk-in urgent care centre Haringey people make the second highest number of hospital visits in London—but to hospitals outside the borough.
- A new GP pracce on the St Ann’s site. Child health centre A centre uni$ng health and social services could prevent another tragedy like Baby P.
- Improved mental health services As well as acute beds parents need better primary care, outpatient facilities and aftercare.
What you can do
Come to the public meeting :
Thursday, 4 September, 7.00 pm at Chestnuts Community Centre
280 St Ann’s Road, N15 5BN

interested to hear how this goes.
I live very close to the hospital and I am still in two minds about the proposed development. I definitely feel that the space is not being utilised to its potential in its current form (having walked arround in there) but I am not sure that another housing develoment is the answer, although I did like the proposed pedestrian footpath from warwick gardens to hermitage road. I like the idea of Uni campus.

It's an aggressive sell-off of children's services, mental health services, and any dynamic future for local health needs, shelving any idea of securing a health employment site, just for over 50 million if you crunch the yields, it's the same size as the Gardens; could you get more for the Ladder?
What would we estimate that by today's prices be of a Ladder sell-off?
we're getting old so what about age care will that go in the Civic Centre, (that will be next.) We can have a Health centre of excellence if a new Mayor will fight for it, just like the Whittington, out of 32 boroughs in london, Haringey will be the only one without a hospital, lets wish for more.
Labour please save us.

I just received a letter from Haringey council about the planning application, so it seems they are trying to steam ahead with this

I believe they are trying to respond to legitimate and repeated criticisms of lack of meaningful public consultation -- a repeated theme in the consultation comments that they have received from local residents and residents' associations.
For those with an interest in the site, please do try to take the time to comment on it. The planning application and numerous documents are here. If you go to www.haringey.gov.uk/planning and search for reference HGY/2014/1691, you will also be able to find it.
The council will only take into account planning-related comments, e.g., effect on provision of local facilities or infrastructure, highway issues, noise and disturbance (not related to construction), environmental impact, loss or effect on trees, layout and density of building, effect on character/appearance of the area (something that was not clear to me when I rushed a comment into the mix when I belatedly learned about a deadline this summer). There are several consultation comments from area residents (labelled "consultation comment" followed by a number) that address relevant planning issues as well as stipulations of the overarching development plans for the borough and Greater London, and you may find it worthwhile to read a few before commenting.
(Jayvee, if you visit the application site, you'll find that the proposed pedestrian path is one of the portions of the plan receiving the most objections, including from the Met Police, for safety reasons.)
