Hornsey Town Hall development plans approved

Hornsey Town Hall Creative Trust is "delighted" that plans to redevelop Hornsey Town Hall as a creative and cultural hub for Crouch End and beyond have been approved by the planning committee.

HTCT Chair Ann Wilkes said today, "We are delighted that the Planning Committee has given the green light to proceed with our plans for the restoration of HornseyTown Hall."

"It is a major milestone,  and one to which the Trust and the Community

Partnership Board, in partnership with Haringey Council, has been

working for over four years."

The Trust will now be responsible for raising funding to cover the costs of development, and for running and managing the town hall once it is open again.

The refurbished Grade II* building will include cafes and bars,

theatre and performance halls, art gallery and exhibition space, and

multi-purpose community use space. Improvements will also be made to the Town Hall square outside.
