Moving orward together Council Leader Claire Kober

explains steps being taken torebuild Tottenham in the wake othe riots.

The impact o the riots in August was devastating.More than 50 amilies losttheir homes to arson, traders

lost their livelihoods to re,vandalism and looting, and

local people were terri ed by the scenes on their doorsteps.

But the response to thedisturbances has been genuinelyheartening.

The scenes at the Community Assistance Centre de nedthe sense o unity which is sostrong in Tottenham, while thegenerosity o local people whodonated ood, clothing and cashto help those who were su ering was commendable.

Our ocus now has to be onrebuilding Tottenham. And bythat we dont mean simplygetting it back to where it wasbe ore the riots we mean

making sure it emerges romthese troubles stronger, moreunited and more prosperous thanever be ore.

Through our dedicatedbusiness support scheme wehave supported dozens o localtraders helping them to apply

or grants, o ering businessadvice and support with makinginsurance claims, and aidingthem in nding new premises.

We have made payments tobusinesses rom the councilsTottenham Fund, the Mayor oLondons High Street Fund andthe Governments High StreetSupport Fund, and we willcontinue to support our localbusinesses or as long as ittakes.

Repairing the damage inTottenham to homes andbusinesses and to peoplessense o security will be a slowprocess, but we are determinedto get it right.

We have launched a TottenhamRegeneration Programme tooversee a ra t o improvements

and deliver a workable visionor the uture o Tottenham

bringing together the community,businesses and investors tosecure lasting change.

In addition to that, I amhonoured to be chairing ourCommunity Panel which bringstogether key community leadersto ensure that the views olocal people are ully taken intoaccount as we decide how bestto move orward.

I am con dent that togetherwe can emerge rom the recenttroubles with a Tottenham that isstronger, more united and moresuccess ul than ever.

Tottenham showsits communityspirit

Just days a ter the riots that tore through the heart o Tottenham, the neighbourhood was awash with community spirit as people cametogether to celebrate their pride in the area.

Dozens o residents, traders, well wishers andHaringey councillors responded to a rallying cry todemonstrate unity and help get Tottenham back on its

eet ollowing the disturbances.

Taking up brooms, bin bags, litter picks and shovels,the army o volunteers swept through the High Roadand side streets, clearing litter and debris and visitingshops to o er reassurance and support.

Traders applauded and passing cars soundedtheir horns in support as the volunteers made theirway along the High Road rom Lansdowne Road to

Monument Way.Sta rom the councils waste contractor Veolia

passed through on rubbish trucks to scoop up thecollected bags o waste during the operation onSaturday, August 13, the morning after the High Roadwas reopened ollowing the disturbances.

Haringey Council Leader Claire Kober said: Theturnout or the community clear-up was absolutelytremendous and showed the world the true aceo Tottenham a place rich with community spiritwhere people rom all walks o li e take pride in theirneighbourhood.

The scenes we saw on the High Road just a weekearlier were truly devastating, but the communityresponse was truly upli ting.

People were so generous donating not justclothing, household items and money, but also reelygiving their own spare time to help clear up the area.

The council will continue to reach out to thecommunity and to listen to local concerns and I amcon dent that with the antastic backing o residentsand traders we can get Tottenham back to its best.

The Community AssistanceCentre, set up in the

a termath o the riots inTottenham, became a

hive o activity to supportthose worst a ected by thedisturbances.

The plight o those a ected andthe work o volunteers caught theattention o the Prince o Walesand the Duchess o Cornwall,who made an unannounced visitto the centre the week a ter the

riots.Charles and Camilla spent

almost two hours meeting withthose who had been a ected andtalking to volunteers about therelie e ort.

Haringey People took alook behind the scenes atthe CAC.

The worst night o my li e,

was how Barbara BeredaMalik described feeing thefames climbing towards herRiver Heights fat above theCarpetright store in TottenhamHigh Road.

We thought people werecoming to kill us so we got outstraight away with what we couldcarry but really we have losteverything, said Barbara, whofed the blazing building with her

ve year-old son Oskar.

She added: Coming to thecentre at Tottenham Green eels

like were getting some help tostart over again. The supportthere has been great. Theyve

put us up in a hotel and givenus what we need to get goingagain.

Similar views were echoed byanother resident, Lisa Fleming,who had to evacuate her homewith three-year old daughter, Zay,because o the danger posed bynearby burning buildings.

The generosity shown bypeople at the centre has beenreally overwhelming, she said.

From day-one, there havebeen people on hand to helpwith every request we havemade or help, everything romhousing to clothes.

A ter what we went through and I can still hear the sirensringing in my ears it goes toshow there are still some very

good people out there as well assome great community spirit.

Someone who helped tohand out ood, clothes andother items donated ollowingthe disturbances was KrystellLopez, 19.

She volunteered to help at thecentre as soon as she heard itwas being set up and said:I live in Wood Green now butmost o my li e has been spentin Tottenham so its like it couldhave happened to me and Im

just pleased to be o help.

Seeing people who havelost everything has beenheartbreaking especially the

ones with children who werebeing brave or ear o righteningthe kids. That was prettymoving.

Also impressed with thestrength shown by people asking

or support in the wake o the riotswere Mark Billings and AngelaChesson rom the councilshousing emergency team.

They had set up a respitecentre by around 10.30 on theSunday morning ollowing theriots and had ound alternativeaccommodation or everyonethey saw by the end o the day.

They then set up shop at theassistance centre helping totemporarily rehouse more than50 homeless amilies in the ewdays ollowing the disturbances.

What really shone through,said Angela, is how strong anduncomplaining they were giventhe circumstances. These werepeople who had in many caseslost everything yet were justgrate ul that people were onhand to help them.

What also soon becameclear, added Mark, is that wewouldnt be short o support rom

council sta to help out. Loads osta also live in the borough and

elt a special sort o sympathy orthe people they were helping.

F U T U R E H A R I N G E Y


Among the many local voluntarygroups and charities to o er

assistance at the centre was theWood Green branch o VictimSupport.

Their senior volunteercoordinator, Ilda Daun, said thatsome o the people she sawneeded both short and long-termassistance.

Ilda said: The rst reactionis o ten shock and concernover immediate needs and inthose cases we were able topoint people towards the rightagencies to help them.

Where victims alsoneeded longer term

support, we arrangedthis to suit individualneeds.

Among such needs were thoseo local businesses, as describedby one local shop owner whoasked to remain anonymous.

He said: When a businessgoes up in smoke, its not just theowners who are victims.

The sta lose their jobs andlivelihoods and o ten hundredso customers lose access toservices and products that areimportant or their everyday lives.

Ive been asking i theres anyin ormation about alternativepremises; also i theres any

nancial help available and Ihave to say the sta here havebeen extremely help ul.

Where they dont have theanswers right away they get backvery quickly.

Its great that a place was setup so quickly to help local peoplea ected by the riots.

Seeing people who have losteverything has been heartbreaking

explode. These latest results are brilliant and Im sopleased or the students. We have hugely committedsta and highly aspirational and motivated students.

u this winter The approach o winter o ten brings an increase

in fu germs, and many o us may be prone to picking up colds.

For most people fu is a airly mild and easily sel -managed illness, but in extreme cases it can lead todeath, and each year a number o people are hospitalisedbecause o fu.

With winter just round the corner, now is the time orthose who need the fu jab to make sure they get it be ore

in ections start spreading.Cllr Dilek Dogus, Cabinet Member or Health and Adult

Services, said: It may seem like the summer is only justdrawing to a close, but the winter will soon be here andthat means that there will be more fu in ections around.

The fu jab can help to protect those at greatest riskrom catching fu, and is especially important or older

people and those with existing medical conditions.

Its best to have a jab now to help reduce the risk ocatching fu urther down the line.

Those at particular risk, who should speak to their doctorabout getting the jab, include:

Anyone with other underlying medical conditions, such asdiabetes, heart disease, asthma, multiple sclerosis, canceror serious kidney or liver disease

Those aged 65 and over as people get older they aremore at risk rom complications rom fu

Pregnant women pregnancy a ects the bodys naturalability to ght in ections, so catching fu while pregnant canpose serious risks to both mother and baby. The vaccinecan also help protect a new born baby rom fu.

For urther advice, or to arrange a vaccination, contact yourGP or visit www.nhs.uk

Jabs are available on the NHS or at risk people.

History

Haringey History St James Church Organ


Haringey People refects on the history o the newly restored St James Church organ.

The magni cent St James Church organ wasbuilt in 1955 by experts Harrison & Harrison, to adesign backed by HA Bate, who was organist at thechurch for more than 50 years between 1924 and1978.

The remarkable organ was made to blend thehistoric with the modern making it suitable or anyoccasion and was widely acknowledged as aninstrumental masterpiece.

Throughout the decades that ollowed, the organbecame renowned amongst some o the worldsgreatest organists and drew thousands o musiclovers to the Muswell Hill church.

Following in her athers ootsteps, HA Batesdaughter Jenni er Bate eventually became the mainorganist or the church and started to earn worldrenown or her musical talents.

Word spread o her talent and a ter leadingFrench composer Oliver Messaien visited MuswellHill and heard Ms Bate play, she soon became hisorganist o choice.

Mr Messaien along with many others o tenvisited St James to hear his music played by MsBate, who is still a world-renowned organist and aleading authority on organ music.

A ter ve decades o ame, by 2004 the organ wasin desperate need o restoration and the St JamesChurch Organ Appeal was launched to raise the unds.

The e orts paid o and the organ has now beenully restored. Its return to its ormer glory will

be celebrated on Saturday, November 19 with aspecial concert by the North London Chorus, whosemembers played an active part in the undraising.

The Chorus will per orm Maurice DurufesRequiem and Benjamin Brittens Rejoice in theLamb - both o which eature the organ - and theorganist will per orm a solo by Oliver Messaien intribute to the organs history.

Tickets costing 8-18 are available from StJames Church bookshop and Les Aldrich MusicShop, Fortis Green Road.

Helen ConstantineI you looked at HelenConstantines job title,

you might be orgiven or thinking her role as Heado Business ManagementServices was a bit

hum-drum.Well, youd be wrong.

Helen was the person whospearheaded emergency e ortsat the Community AssistanceCentre set up by the councilimmediately a ter the Tottenhamriots.

It became clear very quicklythat people like those who fedburning buildings and lostvirtually all o their possessions needed help rom severaldi erent quarters and it seemedsensible to make this availableunder one roo , explains Helen.

So we assembled everyone,rom emergency housing

specialists to voluntary groupsexpert in advising people

traumatised to varying degreesby their experiences.

Adds Helen: Then therewere the business people whoneeded di erent sorts o help.They had lost their livelihoods,as had the people working orthem so they needed help

rom council business advisorswith everything rom temporarypremises to insurance claims.

What really struck Helenduring her 16-hour days atthe centre was the generosityand community spirit whichwelled up in people touchedby the plight o victims o thedisturbances.

Helen says: That initial localcommunity spirit rippled out

rst to other parts o London,then across the country andeventually internationally.

Towards the end we werereceiving donations rom as ara eld as Australia and China.Just goes to show there are

some really good people outthere.

Those donations were justsome o the hundreds received rom ood and clothing romlocal people, to new goodsand thousands o pounds rombusinesses and shops.

I guess my enduring emotionwill be pride, continues Helen.Pride in the 400-plus volunteersgiving time and expertise - andin the stoic attitude o thosecaught up suddenly in the riots.

Also, pride in how we put ourregular emergency planning intoaction in a short time to help somany people.

It was also com orting toreceive visits rom PrinceCharles and the Duchess oCornwall and other dignitaries,but at the end o the day thiswas all about ordinary peoplecoming to the aid o othersin trouble and showing truecommunity spirit.
