Haringey Council has been awarded a grant of just over £2 million by Historic England to set up a high street heritage action zone in the Bruce Grove area of Tottenham.

The project will fund long-term improvements to buildings and public spaces within the Bruce Grove Conservation Area. Focussing on Bruce Grove and the adjacent part of Tottenham High Road, the programme will carry out physical improvements to buildings, cultural activities and community engagement.
Work will include reinstatement of traditional shopfronts and facades and the restoration and re-opening of a listed public convenience in Bruce Grove. A key element will be a cultural programme.
