Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

Is there any disabled parking?

I'm hoping it is easier to get a disabled ticket than currently is the case.
The view 'should be good ( I hope)

The Stadium has been designed to be truly inclusive, placing disabled facilities throughout the ground, giving fans the opportunity to sit in all areas of the ground including the single tier stand. We want to ensure that all fans can enjoy the same exceptional fan experience with excellent amenities and other facilities. We shall also be the first club to offer flexible seating arrangements so that wheelchair users will be able to sit with their families. We are continuing to engage in detailed discussions with the Disabled Supporters Association and other local and national disabled fan groups to ensure we deliver the highest quality inclusive experience for all.

Parking for supporters with a disability will be available in and around the stadium scheme.
The club has stipulated 872 parking spaces within the stadium of which 732 are standard, 90 are fully accessible, and 60 are Blue Badge. Disabled drivers should have exclusive access to the Blue Badge spaces on match days and can also use available place on the day within the 90 allocation. Within its submission the club has commented that this is more or less the same as at the Emirates, which was praised for its provision of disabled access at the time of its opening.

Slides from a presentation by Haringey Council to its External Auditor on 19th April this year have revealed that

• The Council is to use dedicated Housing Funding to give Tottenham Hotspur Football Club £30.5 million towards the cost of a Podium (a raised public space) at its new football stadium.

• Spurs has purchased many additional sites around the area, using its land as ransom holdings to influence Council redevelopment plans.

• Despite promises, much of the council housing to be demolished in the area will not be replaced by new social homes.

Spurs has repeatedly pressed for public subsidy for its new ground, and has pressed for exemption from planning policy on affordable housing. The new ground includes 585 new homes which are to be 0% affordable. The justification for this at the Planning Sub Committee in December 2015 was that the development costing between £675 and £750 million had an expected rate of return of just 1.2%. It was suggested at the time that further public subsidy would be required, to fill a viability funding gap which we estimated at £60 million.

Now Haringey are planning to give Spurs £30.5 million for the podium from Housing Zone funding which has been provided by the Greater London Authority to support housing regeneration in Tottenham. The money could be borrowed at a fixed rate of 2.2% over 12 years, loading additional costs onto this huge subsidy to one of the world’s richest football clubs.

Haringey has an alternative source for part of the £30.5 million – a £23 million surplus which has been created in the cashflow for High Road West, a plan to demolish council housing opposite the Spurs Ground.

The Slides reveal that contrary to GLA Guidance, demolished social housing will not be replaced in full.

212 rented Council dwellings at the Love Lane estate will be replaced by only 145 social rented homes, in a huge mainly private new housing development.

Spurs have bought up 14% of the redevelopment area, and the £30.5 million subsidy is tied to Spurs being prepared to sell these ‘ransom’ land holdings to allow land assembly for High Road West.

The £30.5 million subsidy proposal will need to be ratified by the Haringey Cabinet.

These subsidies to Spurs are being proposed by a Council Cabinet besieged by critics of its Haringey Development Vehicle joint venture with the developer Lendlease to demolish thousands more council homes, and price local people out by increasing rents and house prices in this mainly poor area of North London, where 48% of households have no savings or are in debt.

Meanwhile other council services are being slashed, such as Adult Social Care, or sold off like the Osborne Grove care home.

Local MP David Lammy has publicly expressed his lack of confidence in Council leader Claire Kober, and Labour Councillors meeting on Thursday night debated a NO Confidence motion in Cllr Kober.

Levy time.

Edit:
What kind of a clamy site is that anyway? These people get given a house for free from us taxpayers and they think that gives them the right to tell the council what to do with its (our) money and what houses to build where? clams.

And why did the guy writing it leave his mobile number on there? I would certainly be against such a thing but surely it's just asking for his phone to be flooded with dingdong pics?

I will get the custard....




Last thing Tottenham needs is more social housing, i grew up along the road in a council flat. Kensington does not need any more posh squares and Tottenham does not need any more social housing, lets have a proper mix.

Aboslutely right, I lived in Bermondsey for years and watched gradually decline, until the docks were redeveloped and more private housing available. This bought shops, restaurants and entertainment venues, the area still has some rough areas, but it's a much nicer place to live and work.
