 Your Haringey Hero Volunteer Awards
Do you know someone who goes the extra mile to help others by volunteering for a community group or voluntary organisation? We want to honour them with a Haringey Heroes Volunteer of the Year award.
Back in the summer we told hundreds of stories involving people doing amazing things across our borough. Now we’re teaming up with the Bridge Renewal Trust to recognise volunteers who put so much into their community. We want to hear from you if there is somebody you would like to nominate. There are two categories – Haringey Young Hero (Volunteer) of the Year and the overall Haringey Hero (Volunteer of the Year).
The Bridge Renewal Trust Community Impact Awards are also requesting nominations for community groups and voluntary organisations across the board who make a difference to people’s lives.
It’s quick and easy to nominate with a closing date of 7 November 2016. Make your nomination now. The winners of the awards will be announced on Friday 25 November 2016.

Social Supermarket to open in Tottenham
The go-ahead has been given for Haringey’s first Social Supermarket, with a contract awarded to Community Shop to run the store supported by £100,000 grant from the Mayor of London (GLA). Social supermarkets reduce food waste by selling ‘waste’ stock at low prices to local people on low incomes who are struggling with food poverty. Haringey's Social Supermarket is planned to be in the Eric Allin Community Centre in Northumberland Park.

Haringey fights back against fly-tipping with new £400 fines
|
|
Fly-tipping fines have been raised from £80 to £400 in a bid to fight back against the anti-social environmental crime. Cllr Peray Ahmet, Haringey’s Cabinet Member for Environment said: “People are sick and tired of fly-tipping and its associated cost to our taxpayers are over £3 million a year. We’re working around the clock with our partners Veolia to make our streets cleaner and our new £400 fine sends a clear message that we are fighting back against fly-tippers.”
You can report problems, including dumped rubbish, online 24 hours a day, seven days a week with My Account. Sign up here.
