<p><b> </b></p>
<p>The Pinkham Way Alliance (PWA) is urging local residents to show we don’t want a waste site on Pinkham Way by turning up at an important session of the local plan inspector next week.</p>
<p>Inspector Christine Thorby started her examination of the Haringey Local Plan this week.</p>
<p>In a bid to convince her to retain the ‘employment designation’ for Pinkham Way, the North West London Waste Authority (NWLA) (<a href="http://www.nlwa.gov.uk/">http://www.nlwa.gov.uk/</a>) has ressurected plans to develop a residual waste plant on the site.</p>
<p>We need as many people as possible to attend the session that really matters to the PWA, starting at <b>1.30pm on Wednesday 31 August.</b></p>
<ul>
<li>We need to show the inspector, Haringey Council and the NWLA that Pinkham Way is totally unsuitable for development, other than small scale local community uses.</li>
<li>Any waste use is wholly unacceptable on what is a <b>high value Site of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC)</b>. It is the only SINC in Greater London that is also has an employment designation. The employment designation must be dropped.</li>
</ul>
<p> <b>Please try to come, if only for part of the session.</b></p> curious?tag:bowesandbounds.org,2015-08-30:6278630:Topic:1003802015-08-30T13:59:35.813ZSaasha Celestial-Onehttps://bowesandbounds.org/profile/SaashaCelestialOne

<p>Shoppers are being encouraged to show their love for local independent businesses this Saturday by sharing a selfie on Twitter of their favourite trader for the chance to win a special prize.</p>
<p>The <strong><em>Selfie with an Indie campaign</em></strong>, organised by traders groups across the borough and supported by <a href="http://www.haringey.gov.uk/news/love-your-local-shop" target="_blank">Haringey Council</a>, aims to encourage even more people to realise the incredible range of businesses on their doorstep.</p>
<p>Independents’ Day, organised by the <a href="http://www.100ways.org.uk/national-skills-academy-for-retail-a.html" target="_blank">National Skills Academy for Retail</a>, is in its fourth year and is a nationwide event timed to coincide with 4 July Independence Day celebrations in the USA. The campaign also aims to raise awareness about training and business support available to independent traders in England to help them grow and survive through difficult economic periods.</p>
<p>Shoppers who snap a photo of themselves in their favourite local store on Saturday can share it on Twitter using the hashtag <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/haringeyindieday?src=hash" target="_blank">#haringeyindieday</a> – with local traders groups picking the most fun and creative selfies from Tottenham, Wood Green, Crouch End, Harringay and Muswell Hill for a special prize!</p>
<p><em>Selfies must be submitted by 9pm Saturday 4th July 2015. The winning customers must keep their receipts from the shop the Selfie was taken in order to claim the prize</em>.</p>
