Britain’s Prince Charles visited Tottenham, north London on Wednesday (05.02.14).
This trip marked the 65-year-old royal’s fourth visit to the area in the Borough of Haringey since the riots in August 2011, and the local community "hugely appreciate" Charles efforts and were delighted to see him.
Tottenham MP David Lammy told the tottenhamjournal.co.uk: "He has now been back to Tottenham four times in two-and-a-half years, which is unprecedented. There is no other public figure, not even the Prime Minister, who has visited Tottenham as much. His charities are continuing to work in the community and he is coming back to get an update.
"He is a familiar face now in Tottenham. It is hugely welcome for us and it is hugely appreciated. It sends an important message that Tottenham is open for business."
Charles met members of Haringey Youth Council, viewed the nearly-rebuilt Carpetright building which was set alight during the riots before going to Tottenham Green.
A number of the Prince of Wales’ charities are helping with the borough’s regeneration, including an enterprise programme, run by the Prince’s Trust which helps ambitious young people launch their own businesses.
