Spurs announce contractor for Northumberland Park project
Spurs have appointed the contractor which will oversee the construction of part of the Northumberland Park Project.
McLaren Construction has been appointed as the main contractor to deliver the new supermarket, commercial and educational space, which will be located to the north of the new stadium.
The club appointed the company for its delivery of the club’s new Training Centre in Enfield, with work on the new supermarket due to begin later this month.
The new supermarket will be the largest of its type in London and will be operated by Sainsbury's providing 250 jobs which will be aimed for people in the Tottenham area.
Plans for the area include a new a 56,000-seater stadium which is expected to be completed by 2016, 280 new homes and improvements to roads and public transport.

So of these 250 jobs created, many more will be lost elsewhere. It will of course be less then 250 full time equivalents and it will be 250 low paid jobs.
Other shops and businesses will close.
