Lordship Rec – the full regeneration plans!
The Lordship Recreation Ground regeneration scheme has been submitted to Haringey Council’s planning department for approval. Getting such an approval is an essential precondition for receiving the funding needed from the Heritage Lottery Fund. All the planned works are included in the application except for the plans for the City Farm (which, due to the current funding shortfall, will be considered after the rest of the works are completed).
