Our mission:
At TCP we believe that Tottenham deserves a newspaper that is written by and for local people, and which celebrates the community in all its diversity.
We believe that local news brings people together around the issues that matter most to them and ensures everyone can have a voice in local decision-making.
Now more than ever we believe that the media should be responsive and accountable to the community it serves.
Tottenham Community Press is your local newspaper, keeping you up to date with news, views and events in the local area.
