Wards Corner Community Party Celebrates Two Year Fight for Sustainable Development in Tottenham ** Over 120 people enjoyed live music, dancing and international food at this year’s Wards Corner Community Coalition ‘Winter Warmer’. The party at Tottenham Chances on Friday 4th December raised money for the Coalition’s campaign for community-driven and sustainable regeneration at the Wards Corner site, Seven Sisters tube station.

Party-goers were entertained by a multicultural mix of acts and spectacles – North London ukulele duo ‘My Dog’s Got Fleas’; Latin American belly dancers; Asian/American fusion soul singer Sarah Rayani played with Tottenham’s very own drumming optometrists, Moaz and and the Black Pig Ceiledh band. Excellent DJ interludes brought the dance floor to life throughout.

//‘This was the best Coalition party yet - an inspiration to those campaigning for development that is ecologically and economically sustainable and benefits local people’// according to Dave Morris of Sustainable Haringey.

Coalition event organisers heard a few days before the party that they had leave to appeal in the High Court against Haringey Council. This is on the grounds that the Council did not take proper account of the equal rights of the many ethnic minority businesses and residents on the site who will all be displaced if the plans of private developer, Grainer PLC go ahead.
