Haringey Council’s plan to build a floodlit sports pitch at Belmont Rec sparks resident opposition over green space loss and flawed consultation.

Haringey Council proposes building a floodlit MUGA at Belmont Rec, funded by the Football Foundation and council funds, sparking opposition over concerns it would reduce green space, alter the park’s character, and duplicate nearby facilities. Residents argue the consultation process is flawed, offering no option to reject the plan, and urge public feedback to councillors by October 28, 2025. They advocate for simpler, less disruptive alternatives like basketball hoops and emphasize the park’s importance to dog walkers and families.
