About Us

📢📢📢 Some super exciting news for our community!!
There is to be a large investment in parks across Tottenham and our very own Paignton Park will receive a good chunk of that (all we know is ‘6 figures’). This is testament to the long term work of our councillors Barbara and Michelle, along with members of our local community, who tirelessly advocate for our need for and right to quality green space 🌳🌳🌳🎉

As reported on BBC News – ‘Victory for Haringey parking permit campaigners’ 🎉
Haringey Council have decided not to remove daily visitor permits 🎉
Cllr Seema Chandwani, Haringey Council’s Cabinet Member for Resident Services & Tackling Inequality, said it was “clear that the majority of you felt abolishing daily visitor permits would not work due to an unfair disadvantage for areas with longer controlled parking zone hours”
She added that the decision to scrap the proposal was “a testament to the power of community engagement”.

We have two great hands-on councillors in our ward (Seven Sisters): Barbara Blake and Michelle Simmons-Safo, who hold their surgeries on Wednesday evenings at the Triangle Centre in Paignton Park.

We hold meetings where people can meet our local councillors, police, refuse & recycling collectors to raise issues of concern. We also have monthly litter picks in Manchester Gardens & Paignton Park. Once a year, we usually get together in Paignton Park.
