Tomorrow is the Area Assembly for the Stroud Green, Crouch End and Hornsey area, which is being held in Priory Park from 12 noon. The focus will be on health and sport. There will be lots of opportunities to hear and ask questions about health provision in Haringey, how to register at a GP; penalty shoot outs with the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation and the opportunity to find out about volunteering to help at the Olympics.
Between 12 and 2pm there will be a ‘health fair’ with stalls to find out more about local services and participate in health awareness activities. This will include information on cancer screening information, diabetes prevention, and stopping smoking. From 2pm-4pm will be the actual Assembly, which will include a presentation on the area’s new Neighbourhood Health Centre on Park Road, and also the usual opportunities for residents to raise issues from the ’soap box’.
This is the second Assembly we’ve had in the Park, and I hope that this one will be as successful as the ‘intergenerational’ one 2 years ago in getting a wider group of people involved. Crouch End Councillor Lyn Weber has been the driving force behind these Assemblies and will be chairing as usual.
