Better Places
Who are we?
The Better Places Partnership aim to deliver a cleaner, safer, greener and sustainable Haringey.
The partnership works to improve the condition, facilities and quality of our parks and open spaces, the public realm and built environment, ensuring that Haringey is a place where people want to live, work, study and spend time.
We are made up of key agencies and partners working in the Borough, such as Haringey Council, the Environment Agency, NHS Haringey, the Police, Fire Service, Lee Valley Regional Authority, Transport for London (TfL), and voluntary and community sector representatives. The links to our partners' websites will take you to their web pages.
The Better Places Partnership oversees the delivery of the objective for Haringey to have an environmentally sustainable future. By working together, we are increasing opportunities to share information, plan services better and target our work more effectively.

Our Vision
Our vision is that we will work together to tackle climate change and secure a clean, safe and environmentally sustainable future for everyone living, working, visiting or studying in Haringey.
How we will achieve our Vision
The Better Places Partnership has five objectives
- A cleaner and greener Haringey
- A quality built environment with good supporting infrastructure and services
- Better and safer local transport, reduced traffic congestion, and attractive street scene and living streets
- Enable environmental sustainability and improvements, helping Haringey to become London’s greenest borough
- To build cohesive and empowered communities
The Better Places Partnership leads on delivery of Going Green, Haringey’s Greenest Borough Strategy. The Greenest Borough Strategy will help the Better Places Partnership to achieve its objectives.
An Implementation Plan sets out how we will achieve these objectives. It will be updated annually.
