Shops

There are rumours of Budgens opening a 'concept store' this March. Can anyone provide any more info?
Oxfam are diversifying their stock to meet modern demand.
We sadly say goodbye to Mirror Mirror and Rock Around The Clock as both shops clear out for good.

Eating and drinking

St James restaurant is possibly leaving the area.
A new Italian/Modern European restaurant will be opening in March.
Whilst the Pandan Leaf Thai Kitchen is highly recommended.

Transport and Utilities

The Wells Terrace entrance to Finsbury Park is set to close for 2 years due to renovation plans. Will this cause havoc for commuters?

Local Politics and Activism

There's lots more information about what is going on in Hornsey Town Hall. The current tenants want to hear from local groups about how best to use the space.
The historic studio walls marking the birthplace of television at Alexandra Palace are set to be demolished. Help save the BBC studios by signing the petition.
The Lotus sports car showroom in Haringey - another historic local building - is also being threatened with demolition.
