Council leader 'seeks assurances' after historic town hall sold for 47m
Briefly

Far East Consortium has sold the Hornsey Town Hall development to AMTD IDEA Group for £47.2 million. FEC originally bought the lease in 2016 for £3.5 million with plans to restore the Art Deco landmark and build residential and community facilities.

Haringey Council, set to become Borough of Culture in 2026, is pressing for a clearer timeline on the arts centre's development, emphasizing the importance of delivering community benefits. Cllr Peray Ahmet voiced her commitment to ensuring the project's objectives are met and community access is prioritized.
Cllr Ahmet expressed urgency in discussions with AMTD IDEA Group and emphasized the need for a guaranteed timeline for the arts centre at Hornsey Town Hall.
