“We want assurances that the objectives that were set out for the long-term future of Hornsey Town Hall and the community benefits it will bring for our residents will now be delivered
“I share the frustrations that it has taken far too long to bring forward proposals for the arts centre element of the project
Given this new agreement has been put in place I want to see action and activities on the ground and ensure that the partners live up to the commitments previously made
“We are pleased that the Town Hall has now been removed from the English Heritage at-risk register
We also celebrated a major milestone when new council homes on this site were completed and took us to more than 700 in total as part of Haringey’s ambitious council house building programme
“We are now working to ensure the community use and access agreement is adhered to
“We will be meeting with both partners urgently to discuss their new arrangement and to press them for a more definitive and deliverable timeline and to share their vision for the future of the arts centre
“Our position remains that whoever controls the site will be expected to live up to the commitments made to the community to restore cultural and community use to the town hall.”

"We share local residents' disappointment at the continued delays in bringing forward proposals for the arts centre element of the project at Hornsey Town Hall. It is a positive step that a meeting with Hornsey Town Hall Trust has finally taken place
will be assessing Far East Consortium (FEC)'s proposals for activating the cultural and community spaces to see whether they meet the terms of their obligations and previous commitments. We will continue to press FEC hard and expect them to meet their obligations
“We have been assured by FEC that any news regarding the potential sale or acquisition of the Hornsey Town Hall development are purely speculative
and that no agreement has been reached with any buyer or partner to speak of
encourage FEC to engage with our community; to communicate a more definitive and deliverable timeline
given the delays the development has already experienced; and to share their updated vision for the future of the arts centre
“The council will continue to work as closely as possible with FEC
to ensure that the ambitions for the centre and our community are met and critically
how our community will be able to feed into these new processes.”

Back in March, the council announced that the adults’ section would remain closed while works continued to address issues around the presence of Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) in a section of the roof
Other parts of the library do not contain RAAC and are not impacted
Recognising the need for the borough’s libraries to utilise as much public space as possible within their respective sites to benefit our residents and service users
council staff and their contracted partners have worked at sufficient speed to ensure a section of the affected area at Hornsey Library can now re-open early next month
the safety of library users has been – and will always be – the number one priority and it has naturally taken some time to ensure that all the necessary precautions are in place so that no members of the public or library staff are put at risk
These safety measures on-site remain a temporary solution while the council develops comprehensive plans for the removal of RAAC
Despite the partial re-opening of the adults’ section
there remains limited access to PCs at Hornsey Library
Stroud Green and Harringay Library (Quernmore Road, N4 4QR) remains open as usual nearby and library services can still be accessed online at: libraries.haringey.gov.uk
A further update to residents regarding the timeframe for this removal will be provided as soon as possible

Anita Peleg visited Hornsey Library this week to see an ornate candleholder created to honour the memory of her mum
who lived in Muswell Hill and studied at the Hornsey College of Art
The artwork is Haringey Libraries’ entry in a special nationwide arts and education project ’80 Candles for 80 Years’ to mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi concentration camp
as part of this year’s Holocaust Memorial Day (27 January 2025)
Highlighting the life of an individual or a community persecuted by the Nazis
80 bespoke candleholders have been designed and created by community groups and local organisations to form an exhibition
Naomi and her sister Malchi worked in a munitions factory
but her family of 32 had been decimated by the Holocaust and only eight survivors were left by 1945
where she married a young German refugee Asher (Blake) and began her artistic journey after taking evening classes at the Hornsey College of Art (now Middlesex University) between 1955 and 1960
She died on 7 November 2018 at the age of 94
Naomi’s work focuses on optimism and promotes understanding between faiths
while honouring the legacy of the six million Jews who perished during the Holocaust
The candleholder created by Haringey Libraries’ Tom Skitt is currently on display at Hornsey Library
it is inspired by Naomi’s ‘Memorial to the Holocaust’ sculpture
Naomi’s daughter Anita was surprised and somewhat struck by the level of detail Tom had managed to incorporate into the candleholder
which charts her mother’s life story through newspaper clippings circling the base of the sculpture
Here’s what Anita had to say after seeing the candleholder and meeting Tom at Hornsey Library this week:
