PREPARE FOR A WHEELIE GREAT SUMMER

A project for youngsters to learn about bike maintenance, go on organised bike rides and make the most of their two wheels is starting in Northumberland Park.

Called the Somerford Grove Bike Project it’s funded by Haringey Council and will be a free activity running from the first week of June to the middle of September.

TAKING IT TO OUR STREETS

Tidy Up Tottenham is the name of the group of residents formed to wage war against rubbish and fly-tipping in the borough.

Featuring Facebook and Twitter groups of hundreds of followers, residents daily post pictures of rubbish dumped in the streets, bringing eyesores to the attention of the council and waste management company, Veolia. This social media strategy complements the official method of reporting rubbish dumping which includes the Our Haringey mobile phone app.

OLDER FOLK HAVE POETIC LICENCE

For many retired people in Haringey life begins again in the third age. Retirement – or the third ‘age’ of life – is celebrated in the Haringey branch of the University of the Third Age (U3A) which provides older people with a variety of educational and leisure clubs. Here they can take their pick from hand craft, reading, walking and writing clubs alongside lunch groups and one dedicated to exploring London.
There is also the stimulating Poetry Reading Club which meets every third Wednesday of the month from 2pm at the Marcus Garvey Library in Tottenham Green Leisure Centre.
