Healthy Streets for London, published last month by Transport for London, is an important document which outlines in broad terms the strategy that will be adopted by the Mayor of London and his Walking and Cycling Commissioner in order to increase "active travel" by people living and working in London.
The health benefits of daily activity are shown in the diagram. Conversely, the disbenefits stemming from current inadequate amounts of activity among the general population are.......
Palmers Green's longest running Play Street was in the news again this week, though for the wrong reason. An ugly incident when a non-resident drove "at some speed" past barriers in Devonshire Road designed to protect children from cars was picked up in this week's Enfield Gazette.

Site preparations are currently.......
Ousmane Sembène, the father of African cinema, is one of the key directors of the 20th century and yet his works - still relevant today - remain unknown to many. The Sembène season at the Bernie Grant Centre will help plug this gap in public knowledge.
Sembène, born in Senegal in 1923, was both a film director and a writer, whose novels were written in French. His directorial career ran from 1963 until 2004 and his final film addressed the subject of female genital.......

Local volunteer Darius Hazelwood Horner, a member of the Southgate Green Association, has restored the Southgate Village Gates to their former glory.
Southgate originated as the "south gate" to Enfield Chase, the King's Hnting grounds.
