The Alexandra Palace and Park Consultative Committee met on Thursday 18 June 2026 to discuss a range of issues concerning the park and its facilities. Key topics included a response to traffic-related anti-social behaviour on Alexandra Palace Way, an update on outdoor events planned for 2026, and a progress report from the Charitable Trust.

Response to Traffic-Related Anti-Social Behaviour on Alexandra Palace Way

The committee was scheduled to review a report on traffic-related anti-social behaviour affecting Alexandra Palace Way and the surrounding area. The report detailed issues such as dangerous driving, street racing, and excessive noise, which have the potential to impact public confidence, enjoyment of the area, and safety. The report outlined the partnership response to date, which included notifying the police of incidents, requesting additional patrols, and deploying Alexandra Palace security to act as a deterrent. A traffic management sergeant was also to attend the site to review potential traffic-calming and enforcement options. The report also referenced the Metropolitan Police's powers to address anti-social vehicle use and Haringey Council's borough-wide Public Spaces Protection Order, introduced on 1 May 2025, which prohibits anti-social use of bicycles, mopeds, e-scooters, and e-bikes. Measures under consideration to reduce anti-social driving included increased police and security presence, a review of CCTV coverage and potential monitoring technologies, and an assessment of noise-monitoring technology.

Alexandra Park Outdoor Events Report

An update was scheduled to be provided on Alexandra Park's outdoor events programme for 2026. The report highlighted the Summer Series, which includes six outdoor concerts and the Kaleidoscope Festival, with a maximum capacity of 14,500 per event. The schedule for July 2026 included performances by The Maccabees, Wet Leg, Rudimental, Groove Armada, Russell Kane, Super Furry Animals, The Streets, and Richard Ashcroft. The report also noted that Alexandra Palace would show the FIFA World Cup quarter-finals, semi-finals, and finals if England progressed, to be shown inside the venue. Operational impacts of these events were to be discussed, including park closures on the upper South Slope, Alexandra Palace Way, the South Terrace, and the Terrace area outside the Phoenix Bar. Road closures were also planned for sections of Alexandra Palace Way, Station Road, and Buckingham Road. The report also detailed the Red Bull Soapbox event on 20 June 2026, which would involve park and road closures, and the Fireworks & Drone Festival, scheduled for Saturday 7 November and Sunday 8 November 2026, with a revised weekend format to increase family attendance.

Charitable Trust - Progress Report

The committee was to receive a general update on the progress of the Alexandra Park and Palace Charitable Trust during the financial year 2026/27. The report was to align with the Trust's vision to Create a Sustainable Home for All That We Do. Updates were expected on providing great entertainment and culture, building climate change resilience, protecting heritage assets, restoring derelict spaces, safeguarding the park, protecting archives, inspiring and engaging communities, strengthening overall resilience, and establishing new partnerships. Specific highlights included the performance of concerts, theatre productions, and ancillary offers such as the Ice Rink and Boathouse. Progress on energy efficiency improvements, including secondary glazing and solar PV projects, was also to be detailed. The report was also to cover conservation work on heritage assets, including road resurfacing and improvements to heating vent grilles, as well as volunteer efforts in park management and the development of a new Park Management Plan. The report was also to provide an update on the Creative Campus project and partnership activity, including collaborations with heritage organisations and the Mayor's Cultural Leadership Board.
