The future of the town hall is up in the air again since the proposal for Mountview Theatre School to take on the building fell through. So Haringey Council is running a procurement process to identify potential partners to take on the restoration of the Town Hall, the development of the housing on the rest of the site, and the ongoing management of the historic building, with all the possible uses that it may contain within it.
Community use and access to the town hall is vital so we have to tell potential developers what we want to see here. Hornsey Town Hall Creative Trust is running this consultation and Haringey has agreed that findings from this consultation will form part of the brief that all developers will get, setting the bar high if they want to have a chance of winning the bid to take on this project. When bidders are scored in the procurement process, the criterion worth the most points is their community access and use offer, so we have to tell them our aspirations for the building.
Please do get involved so we can make sure that this incredible building becomes the heart of the Crouch End community again.
