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.
THE FESTIVAL – a closer look
To get an idea of what can be achieved we can review what happened last year.
On September 13th 2008 around 3000 people attended the ‘Restore the Rec’ Community Festival. The festival was organised by the Lordship Rec Users Forum with the aim of showcasing the great potential of the Rec to coincide with the Lottery bid efforts.

24th July: Launch of Parkforce and Green Flag Celebration
Haringey Council would like to invite you to a celebration of this year’s Green Flag Awards and launch of Parkforce – our innovative approach to park supervision.
The event will run from 1 – 3 pm (with speeches at 1.15) on Friday 24 July 2009 at Albert Road Recreation Ground, N22 in a marquee on the grass to the front of the Pavilion Café.
Albert Road Rec is situated between Bounds Green and Muswell Hill, close to Bounds Green Underground Station (Piccadilly Line) and on the 102, 184 and 299 bus routes that run past the park.
The event will provide an excellent opportunity for networking and information sharing. There will be representatives from Haringey Council, the Metropolitan Police, conservation charity BTCV and Haringey Friends of Parks Forum, as well as other partners and groups.
We would appreciate it if you could indicate whether you will be able to attend by replying to this email – so that we have an idea of numbers expected.
We look forward to seeing you there.
