Read more...I saw a post on a social media platform where somebody commented that it was better to have a business like this on the high street rather than an empty shop. I don't agree with that view as these places[…]

Read more...Read more about the reversal of the Palace Amusement decision on the Enfield Dispatch website .` My earlier report (above) gave the wrong name for the Palmers Green Action Team spokesperson. As reported by the Dispatch, it should have been[…]
Read more...If this is an issue that interests you, I recommend reading the Inspector's ruling in full - it's not too long and uses normal language. The section on Community Cohesion makes interesting reading, starting at Para 21. Para 23 in[…]

The correct link is https://alexandraparkneighbours.org.uk/forum/update-on-alexandra-palace-station-refurbishment . Thanks for Bill for pointing this out.
Read more...I asked Dave Cockle from the Enfield Society, who's something of an expert on public transport in the borough, if he had any news. He didn't, though he thinks that the station will be made step-free eventually. He did think[…]
Read more...It is extraordinary how far they got with the planning before realising it wasn't possible. It is the same situation with Winchmore Hill Station and several more stations further up the line but they haven't wasted any resources on proposals[…]
