Spurs in Tottenham: some facts

Several news reports have perpetuated the myth that Haringey Council placed unreasonable demands on Tottenham Hotspur Football Club in relation to the proposed redevelopment of their Tottenham ground.

In reality, the council has been enormously supportive of THFC’s Northumberland Development Project from the outset and has gone to considerable lengths to expedite the whole process to benefit the club.

The development would of course also be of major benefit to Tottenham and surrounding areas so we would have no interest at all in being unhelpful.

I would be grateful if you would take a few minutes to read the enclosed fact pack, which we are distributing to set the record straight.
