We are kindly asking you to support the petition to keep Lord Morrison Hall in the hands of the community. Afro International has been running Lord Morrison hall successfully for almost 22 years without any financial help from the council.
The local council are attempting to stifle the growth, education, opportunities and talents of everyone especially our young people and elders by wanting to take away a space run and used by the community.
With weekly activities geared towards community development which are desperately needed especially after the riots of 2011; Afro International is meeting the challenge of providing a positive space and support for young people in the community.
In June this year Harringey Council gave the 32-year old Community Centre six month’s notice of its plan to oppose the renewal of the lease due in February 2013.
Without the renewal of the Lord Morrison Hall lease for Afro International and the danger of the council closing down the hall, the council are going back on their words of working to engage all communities in building Tottenham into a vibrant, prosperous and exciting place where people choose to live, work and enjoy life.
The Lord Morrison Hall's clientele are mainly, minorities such as women, children and ethnic minority communities. There will be a demographic deficit should Afro International lose its lease, coupled with the loss of vital services for the most vulnerable in the community.
The community needs Afro International's lease renewed and Lord Morrison Hall to remain open.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT HAS SIGNED THE PETITION SO FAR. More signatures are needed, so please pass on the information/link. Thank you.
The silence from the council remains discouraging as we wait for any formal response to our request for a lease renewal. I have been spending my time documenting the stories of those who rely on this hall to ensure their importance is not overlooked in these discussions.
December 11, 2012
Seeing the steady flow of people joining this cause confirms that the community recognizes the true value of Lord Morrison Hall. The depth of this support shows that our neighbors understand how vital this space is for the future of our youth and elders.

I believe the hall should remain with the black community NOT Haringey council. As the council will end up destroying it or giving it to the Turkish or Eastern Europeans.

Lord morrison is hell house for the neighbours and in the middle of residential area, 100s times complained that the lord morrison hall is making incredible loud music and using loud base speakers so loud you can hear it from 200 yards, you have been warned and warned and still you have no shame you are simply making people and locals life a living hell on weekends.. shame on you.. just respect the people around them.. today they started playing loud music deom 5 pm and now 9 pm and still going on till 9pm and on,, you can hear it end of the street and will go on till 11pm sometimes 1am in the morning. over 10 years almost every weekends and some fridays we are this nightmares and YOU DO NOT RESPECT NEIGHBOURS, we need to sleep and we need to realax.. There is nothing to do with black community at all, the place either used for parties, disco place, or loud church services that god knows if they have licences to run.. there are all kind of dodgy parties and drug users and sometimes teen illegal disco ended up with police and fights.. absolute disgrace the tottenham community and this place should be grounded down and not doing any business because not respecting anyone living around and it is in residential area, you can simply move your church services and other thing to commercial buildings areas and LEAVE US in peace
