Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Superb News: Kinleigh Folkard Hayward listen to community and stay their hand on betting shop - Thank you KfH
An update about the struggle over the Coliseum building. About half an hour ago I received the following email from KfH:
Dear Hugh,
Further to the discussions regarding our site in Harringay, I have an update for you which I am sure will please you.
As we have said previously, we have been trying to find a tenant for the premises for almost a year and have received only one acceptable offer.
However, we have listened to the concerns voiced by local residents and traders and have decided to put the assignment to the betting shop operator on hold while we re-explore other options.
We are very happy to work with the local community to find a mutually satisfactory solution but we cannot hold these empty premises indefinitely and do need to eliminate our liabilities for the rent and rates, which are approaching £85,000 per annum.
We look forward to further discussions.
Kind regards,
Kaylene

Kaylene just told me over the phone, "We're really keen to work with the community. So we've decided to put things on hold for a few months. With all the interest, we hope that we'll now have better luck finding an alternative tenant"
Kaylene also mentioned that this mail has been copied to David Lammy. Many thanks to David who has supported our campaign. As I wrote yesterday he spoke recently with the KfH MD to underline the strength of feeling made clear on HoL. He also asked members of his email list to voice their support and mail in to KfH, all of which has helped convince KfH to review their decision, I'm quite sure.
Superb. Thank you KfH.

This is a wonderful example of how, with social networking, residents can work quickly and decisively to get a result that's good for everyone!
Because of the improvements which will soon be benefiting many parts of Green Lanes, including the area in front of the Salisbury, I have every hope that a far better tenant than a betting shop will soon be found.

Meanwhile put in a charity shop, that cuts out the Council Tax no? They may even pay some rent.

Great idea - plus for purely selfish reasons we could do with a decent chazza shozza in the area.

I thought that was going to be some new form of body decoration from Essex, but seemingly "Chazza shozza" is slang for charity shop.

Yeah...I think we can probably live without a vajazzling parlour on Green Lanes for now

Well there was someone on here last year wondering where they could get one. I think Hugh can take full credit as being the only one to give an answer.

Well done to Hugh for giving the tip off about this in his discussion "Tricky Dealing As K.F.H. Rides Roughshod etc." and to all who used this to gather people together to voice their displeasure and inform those involved about this displeasure.
