The report provides an update with regard to the Tottenham Regeneration Programme and delivery arrangements and seeks agreement to the Tottenham Regeneration Programme.

Cabinet considered a report, introduced by the Cabinet Member for Economic Regeneration and Social Inclusion, which provided an update with respect to the Tottenham Regeneration Programme and delivery arrangements. The report also sought approval of key strategic objectives, as well as noting the progress in establishing the programme management approach and integrated programme, overall progress since 2012, improved communications approach and an update on the recent consultation regarding options for change at High Road West.

The Cabinet Member noted that the recent commitment from central Government to invest £500m in Tottenham was of great significance and underlined the commitment in place to regenerating the area. Members were reminded that a cross party Leader’s Conference was being held on 18 July to brief all Members on the work being undertaken in the area moving forward. 

RESOLVED:

1. That the Tottenham Regeneration Programme key strategic objectives to support the regeneration of Tottenham, as set out in paragraph 5.2.6 of the report, be noted and agreed;

2. That the programme management approach and progress in establishing the integrated programme, as set out in paragraph 5.2 of the report, be noted;

3. That the improved approach to Communications in Tottenham, as set out in paragraph 5.3 of the report, be noted;

4. That the overall progress made since the last Cabinet report in 2012, as set out in Appendix 1 of the report, be noted; and

5. That the update on the recent consultation regarding options for change at High Road West, as set out in Appendix 2 of the report, be noted.

Alternative Options Considered

The alternative approach would not be to progress with an integrated regeneration programme for Tottenham. This however, would not deliver the vision set out in ‘A Plan for Tottenham’ no the strategic aims and objectives of the regeneration programme for Tottenham.

Reasons for Decision

This is a timely opportunity for an update to be provided to Cabinet on the development of the emerging integrated Tottenham Regeneration Programme, the programme management approach, overall progress since February 2012 and the consultation undertaken at High Road West on the options for change, as well as the improved approach to communications. Cabinet is also asked to note and agree the programme key strategic objectives to support and underpin the integration of the social, economic and physical regeneration programme for Tottenham.
