Businesses owners are protesting against plans to demolish shops as part of a regeneration scheme.

Haringey Council last week released plans for land around the stadium, known as High Road West, including a 5,000sq m public space and a walkway between White Hart Lane station and the proposed new ground.

But businesses are unhappy with the proposals, which would see firms in Peacock Industrial Eastate, Chapel Place, the Carberry Enterprise Centre and Goodsyard Businesses forced out with compulsory purchase orders.

Patricia Pearcy, vice-chairman of the Tottenham Business Group, feels relocation has always been presented as "non-negotiable".

She said: "Most of the people that live or work around here are just being shifted out. Although there has been talk of protecting the homes to allow these people to come back to the area, it doesn’t look like this is really all that likely to me."

“Homes are being undersold, evictions are taking place, and small businesses are just being moved out of the way.”

The Tottenham Business Group, which includes businesses from High Road and the Peacock Industrial Estate, was set up in response to the first consultation.

Ms Pearcy added: “In the first consultation, none of the business people were informed about it at all, and later some of us didn’t even get the response packs.

“We joined together to try and get our chance to talk through these proposals with the council and say there is an alternative way.”

The firms have launched a petition and have issued a formal complaint to the council about the way the first consultation was conducted.

A Haringey Council spokesman said: “Residents have told us they want to see a better mix of shops and businesses that provide more jobs for local people on a flourishing High Road, and we share their ambitions.

“We’ve set out in our dedicated Business Charter our commitments to work closely with individual traders to relocate them in the local area if the proposals go ahead, along with one-to-one support and advice on finance, marketing and planning.

“Every trader would be guaranteed a fair valuation and compensation package for their property and for the effects of moving to new premises. No decisions have been made, and we’d encourage traders to respond to the consultation.”

The group is due to speak against the plans at North London Community House on October 11 at 11am as part of a week of community events.
