Haringey Council has launched a consultation on the post-riot regeneration of Tottenham. The consultation invites businesses and residents to submit ideas for transforming the landscape of the riot-hit area.

The Council is seeking ideas and feedback on the best ways to create better-quality housing, improve public space and how to attract more investment into the area.

The consultation launched by Haringey Council this week is focussed on creating a long-term strategy for transforming Tottenham.

The Council has highlighted five key priorities on which it has requested feedback. They are to create safe, secure and confident communities; have thriving businesses and more jobs; high quality housing; create excellent public space and transport; and to attract more investment to Tottenham.

The consultation will explore how best to build on these priorities and create a successful and vibrant Tottenham where people are proud to live and work, the council said.

"We have spoken with hundreds of local residents and traders since the riots, and we are eager to hear from more as we draw up long-term plans for the transformation of Tottenham," Councillor Alan Strickland, cabinet member for economic development and social inclusion, said.

The consultation ends on 6 January 2012. Its findings will contribute to a regeneration strategy due to be drawn up in the new year.

The consultation launched by Haringey Council is in addition to the work being undertaken by Sir Stuart Lipton and Julian Metcalfe, who the Government announced on 4 October would create a masterplan for the regeneration of the area.

The Government announced a £20 million funding pot to help with the regeneration of the riot hit areas. The masterplan for the regeneration of Tottenham and Croydon is due to be submitted to the Mayor of London Boris Johnson by the end of the year.

The findings from this consultation, previous consultations, and the masterplan being developed by Lipton and Metcalfe will all  feed into the development of  the Council's overall strategy for Tottenham’s Future, which is due to be out for public consultation in February 2012.
