Businesses in Tottenham are still waiting for economic relief promised by local and citywide government agencies, seven weeks after the London riots began there. Earlier in September I spoke to Tottenham pub owner Niche Mufwankolo, who said, despite assurances that help is on the way, he has yet to receive the first £1.
"People think that we are back to normal, but we are not back," he said. "We are sinking."
During a brief conversation yesterday afternoon he said the situation had not changed. This project's goal is to find out if recovery assistance is being delayed, and if so, why.
I've written previously about the neighborhood's reaction to the riot's for msnbc.com.
