Tottenham was an award winner in the 2002 and 2004 Tidy Towns Competition. It won the Tidiest Town in its category, as well as several sponsored awards. One of the great advantages in the Tottenham district are the number of community groups working for the future of their area. These include the Tottenham Welfare, Tottenham Tourist Association, The Historical Group, School Committees, CWA, Red Cross, as well as the associated agricultural based groups such as NSW Farmers.

Tottenham, as part of a progressive and community-focussed Lachlan Shire Council, boasts a shire depot employing 7 people. This ensures that the town requirements regarding waste disposal, water supply and related services are fully catered for.

Also based in the town is a Country Energy depot, a vital service for the area. The reliability of such service provision is another benefit of this location.

Local professional services include a doctor, two visiting dentists, ambulance service, local veterinarian, a volunteer bush fire brigade, a postal service available 5 days per week, and also visiting professionals including accountants and solicitors, are part of the service list for Tottenham.

Tottenham Police Station is manned full time by one officer, and the town has a very low crime rate. (LAC stats)
