160120 HDV letter to commercial portfolio tenants.pdf
Your request for this information relating to the Haringey Development
Vehicle has been passed to me. You asked for:
1. All consultation reports with residents about the Haringey
Development Vehicle. Please include if it is not part of the documents,
the date of consultation, how many people participated, the actual
questions asked.
2. All consultation reports with businesses within property owned by
the council about the Haringey Development Vehicle. Please include if it
is not part of the documents, the date of consultation, how many people
participated, the actual questions asked.
3. Please provide a copy of the letter to all tenants (housing,
business and services) where the council informed them their property was
being transferred into the private company within the Haringey Development
Vehicle
In respect of items 1 and 2, there are no reports relating to consultation
with residents or businesses on the Haringey Development Vehicle, as no
such consultations have taken place. The Council’s commitment to
residents and tenants is that they will be involved in shaping the plans
for each specific development, and be fully informed about their options
and rights as those plans are implemented. This process is already well
underway, for example, with residents on the Northumberland Park Estate.
In all cases this engagement will happen, and all existing residents will
be rehoused, before the land transfers from the Council to the HDV.
It is worth noting that only the commercial property portfolio is proposed
for transfer to the HDV straight away, with tenants still in place; these
tenants will be fully informed about the proposals and arrangements as
they are finalised.
I attach here the letter sent to tenants in the Council’s commercial
property portfolio, and the newsletters sent to tenants and leaseholders
in estates potentially affected by the HDV proposals.
If you wish to apply for an internal review of the information provided,
or to complain about the way your request was handled (please note you
should do this within two months of receiving this response) please
contact:

Council building closures since 2010
Dear Haringey Borough Council,
Please kindly provide a list of council-run buildings (including Libraries, Day Care Centres, Community Centres, Schools and Administrative bases) which your Council has had to close since 2010. Please provide the name of the buildings and the postcodes of the buildings.
Such closures would include those where people have to seek the same type of service from a different location* which already exists (or maybe there is no alternative available). * If there are any scenarios where a service provision is not closed but relocated across the road to another council building I don’t require information on that.
I require the list to include buildings closed and disposed plus buildings that are re-let following service closures.
I’m only interested however in the buildings in which you provided a service that you were forced to close due to Government cuts to your budget making it no longer financially viable for you to keep such buildings open.
The reason why I require this information is to get a picture of the effect of any Government cuts to council budgets which in turn is forcing councils to find ways to make savings.
In order to assist the request here is the relevant information from other councils. Please note however I require the postcode besides the name of the buildings if possible:

Dear Gunn Claire1,
My request for this information hasn’t changed, but as a result of requests of clarification from other UK councils I have ‘fine tuned’ this request in order to be as helpful as possible. Please therefore find the most up to date wording of this request along with 73 helpful example results from other councils below:
Please kindly provide a list of council-run buildings (including Libraries, Day Care Centres, Community Centres, Schools and Administrative bases) which your Council has had to close since 2010. Please provide the name of the buildings and the postcodes of the buildings.
Such closures would include those where people have to seek the same type of service from a different location* which already exists (or maybe there is no alternative available). * If there are any scenarios where a service provision is not closed but relocated across the road to another council building I don’t require information on that.
I require the list to include buildings closed and disposed plus buildings that are re-let following service closures. If there is a scenario where the building is closed but still under council ownership then please include that in the list.
The primary reason I require this information is to get a picture of the effect of any Government cuts to council budgets which in turn is forcing councils to find ways to make savings. If you can’t be sure of the reason for closure then kindly provide the information anyway and indicate what is known about the reason for closure (if known).
In order to assist the request here is the relevant information from other councils who have responded thus far which I’m very happy with. Please note I require the postcode besides the name of the buildings if possible.

Dear Mr Jefferson,
Thank you for your request for information received on 07 October 2016, in
which you asked for a list of council-run buildings (including Libraries,

postcodes of the buildings.
My response is as follows:
