Arnos Park river restoration project
Officers from the Environment Agency and Enfield Council held an information and engagement session in Arnos Park last Saturday to brief residents about ideas for a river restoration project in the park designed to enhance wildlife, reduce the risk of properties being flooded and help filter out impurities from the Pymmes Brook, which is badly affected by foul water entering the river from misconnected bathrooms..
Simultaneously, an opposition group were collecting signatures for a petition opposing the proposals.
On Facebook, Alison Archer from the Pymmes BrookERS, a group of volunteers who work to improve the condition of our local river, has written about the " level of misinformation, negativity + hostility directed at the proposal and sometimes, at us", commenting that it's often the negative voices that are loudest, but they don't always reflect the views of the community.
