Looks interesting.
Plans for a “Wembley Way-style” walkway linking White Hart Lane rail station to a new 56,000-seater stadium proposed for Tottenham Hotspur have been revealed.

A letter detailing the proposal, which has been discussed behind closed doors since December, was sent to all residents likely to be affected by any future development last Friday.
But Cllr Alan Stanton criticised the council’s letter as “spin”, accusing it of failing to highlight the possible “ “demolition of people’s homes and relocation” in the Love Lane and Whitehall Street areas of Tottenham, should the plans go ahead.
He said: “The letter should have explained about the discussions that have been taking place. What the letter says is ‘good things are going to happen’, what the letter doesn’t say is ‘there are risks’. We need to tell people the truth - the good things and the bad things.”
Details of the ?ú8.5million scheme, funded by City Hall, are scarce but will require “land acquisition” to create a “new public boulevard” or square linking the stadium to a “new White Hart Lane Station ticket hall”, Haringey Council said.
It is part of a wider ?ú27 million bid by Haringey Council, Tottenham Hotspur and the Mayor of London to regenerate the area.
Under the North Tottenham Regeneration Programme, the council has pledged ?ú9million towards improvements in the area, to supplement a total of ?ú18million promised by the Mayor’s Greater London Authority.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy insisted the club’s Northumberland Park Development project, including the new stadium along with homes, shops and leisure facilities, had the “potential to kick-start the long-term regeneration of north Tottenham”.
A council spokeswoman said residents from Love Lane Estate, Whitehall Street and Brereton Road had been invited to a “drop-in session this week to talk about ways of improving their area as part of the wider regeneration”.
