flag Haringey Council proposes demolishing key shops in Wood Green for housing, sparking concerns over jobs, supplies, and transparency.

flag Haringey Council is holding a webinar to present its new local plan for the Wood Green and Green Lanes area, including Harringay, proposing demolition of the Arena Shops and Jewson on Wightman Road to make way for residential towers. flag The plan, focused on housing development, has raised concerns over job losses, reduced access to essential DIY supplies, and insufficient integration of transport and environmental policies, especially in high-pollution zones. flag Critics highlight the council’s historical preference for developer-driven growth over community needs and note ongoing resistance to acknowledging Harringay as a distinct neighborhood. flag While residents can review the proposals online, the process is criticized for poor transparency and difficult access to documents.
