Lordship Rec Shelter Tragedy

These including some fascinating stories from relatives of victims and survivors of the tragedy.
Lordship Rec – the full regeneration plans!
The Lordship Recreation Ground regeneration scheme has been submitted to Haringey Council’s planning department for approval. Getting such an approval is an essential precondition for receiving the funding needed from the Heritage Lottery Fund. All the planned works are included in the application except for the plans for the City Farm (which, due to the current funding shortfall, will be considered after the rest of the works are completed).
If you wish to look through all the key documents (and there are LOTS! – see * below), the application number is HGY/2010/0471, and you can click on the link below:
