An article in the Guardian has revealed that there is a serious risk that the Accident & Emergency Department at the North Middlesex Hospital may be forced to close in the near future because an acute shortage of doctors means that it is unable to provide a sufficient level of patient safety.
North Mid has one of the busiest A&E departments in the country, treating up to 500 cases per day.
Though it has been clear for some time that there were serious problems with the North Mid's.......

Opponents of Enfield Council's cycle lanes proposals have initiated legal action aimed at stopping implementation of plans for cycle lanes along the A105.
The Save Our Green Lanes campaign last week served the council with papers in connection with its application for a High Court judicial review of the way the council has conducted consultations about the scheme, which envisages the creation of continuous cycle lanes between Enfield Town and Palmers Green.

When Bob Mitchell started his job as a gardener in Broomfield Park he was one of twelve people employed by the council to care for the park. That was in 1984. 32 years later, many of the people whose work keeps the park looking beautiful are volunteers, members of the Friends of Broomfield Park.

The installation of ticket gates at Palmers Green station almost certainly means that the exit from platform 2 to the car park will eventually be closed, which will cause significant inconvenience for some station users.
An unfortunate "side effect" of the installation of automatic ticket gates at National Rail stations in London and elsewhere has been that secondary side or rear entrance/exits to stations have been closed. This is not just to prevent people entering or leaving without a.......

Tragically, late last year aged 53, Lisa suffered a major stroke and then contracted bacterial meningitis, resulting in serious brain damage.
Lisa's partner Kevin.......

Despite increases in the borough's population, the organisation that pays for NHS services in Enfield is being asked to cut its expenditure by nearly five per cent this year.
The scale of savings being required was revealed at the 11th May meeting of the governing body of Enfield Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG). At the meeting it was confirmed that the CCG has been ordered to institute a Recovery Plan in order to clear its deficit, totalling £33.4 million. This figure equates to nearly.......
