What is the Warehouse area called?

In July 2021, a month-long poll was run on the topic of ‘What the area is called?’. For years everyone has called the area something different. The planning team asked HWD Comment to run the poll to see if there is a consensus.

Specifically focusing on the warehouse units owned by Provewell, as opposed to other warehouse clusters like Fountayne Road for example.

In total 253 people took part, representing an estimated 32% of the warehouse district population.

What Next?

This poll is useful food for thought.

It suggests that Harringay Warehouse District has a fair amount of support in the area – achieving 28% of the first poll – and only 12% outright objection in the second poll.

However, this was a poll rather than a scientific study. The results have been shared in the most recent newsletter and a comment box added below. If you have additional feedback you’d like to give, please do respond over the next few weeks.

The Results

First, we asked ‘What do you call the area?’ (using a drop down list). The option of adding something different was included with answers like (‘No name, just our street names’, ‘Artists warehouses’, ‘That bit by the new river’ and a few we couldn’t publish!).

Second, we asked ‘how do you feel about the area being named Harringay Warehouse District?’ on Google Maps and Wikipedia:

Bulky Waste Items

Bulky Waste Items

From time to time tenants have bulky items that will not be collected by the council waste collection provision.

It is also sometimes difficult to distinguish between items being stored by tenants outside of units and items that are waiting to be removed / recycled.  This has caused tensions in the past when items wanting to be retained by tenants have been removed as waste.

  • Tenants may struggle to dispose of bulky items
  • Piles of bulky waste can cause problems for access
  • Not always clear what is being retained and what is waste

Proposed Idea

Monthly collection of bulky waste items from designated drop-off sites around HWD. The cost of the service would be provided by Provewell. Tenants would need to place items out for collection.

  • Designated areas to be identified and discussed
  • Proposed frequency – monthly. Exact frequency to be discussed
  • Find out if there is sufficient interest from tenants and commitment to using the service to keep access areas clear
