Friends of Lordship Rec – Woodlands Sub-Group

On Sunday around 8 of us had a work-in in the woodland in Lordship Rec (near the Downhills Park Rd gate) to continue our efforts to thin out some of the dense shrubs and remove dogwood.

There will be a site visit at the Woodland on Monday 24th August, 9.30am.

We will be meeting up with the Council’s Conservation Officer, Ian Holt, to discuss how we can help manage the woodland for nature conservation purposes whilst ensuring it is attractive for visitors.

All who wish to get involved in the sub-group are welcome!

Broadwater Farm centre is ‘important community asset’

Haringey Independent – Tuesday 28th July 2009

THE doors of a much-loved community centre on the Broadwater Farm estate will remain open, Haringey Council bosses have decided.

The Broadwater Farm Community Centre, in Adams Road, had been at risk of closure with some of its services moved to a proposed “inclusive learning campus” round the corner.

Invitation to all local community groups
Once again the Lordship Rec Users Forum is organising its annual community festival and we’re inviting you and your members to get involved! Last year 3,000 people attended and participated (see below for a report). The festival is a key part of the ongoing efforts to showcase the potential of the park, encourage greater usage, continue to develop community-led partnership working, and to pursue the regeneration of Tottenham’s largest green open space.
