Tewkesbury Road Open Space

Tewkesbury Road Open Space consists of an open park and a basket ball court. Owned by Haringey Council, the area is for the local community to use – both warehouse tenants and residents living nearby. This is actually the largest plot of green space in the warehouse district, yet it appears under-utilised by both warehouse tenants and local residents.

There has been tension with Haringey council and local residents on and off for years. This partly due to noise complaints and creeping boundaries (on paper the warehouse footprint should only be c.1m from each unit). 

If we can get some consensus, a proposal can be drawn up and put to Haringey Council and Provewell for investment to improve the green space for everyone.

In particular, the team are keen to know your thoughts on:

  1. Why the green space is under-utilised?
  2. What changes would make it more welcoming?
  3. Events and gatherings that could utilise the space?
  4. How the boundary between warehouse units and the general park users could be better defined?
  5. And really importantly, what can be done to build better connections with the neighbouring residents of Tiverton Road?
