Singers from the Bowes Park Folk Club are due to perform on the bandstand in Broomfield Park on Sunday 27th July from 2 to 4pm, as part of a Summer Picnic.
Enfield Council's rules are that we should have two qualified first aiders on hand, but as we are a shoestring operation, we can't afford to pay for them. Can anyone help? You will get an entertaining afternoon, an ice cream, and our eternal thanks.
Please email us, or call 07769 941161 or 07947 321182. Catherine Perry, Bowes Park.......
The Restoring Broomfield House website has published reports about the progress of the project to restore the house at the centre of Broomfield Park, which was seriously damaged by fires during the 1980s.
In May the Broomfield House Trust met English Heritage representatives, who recommended that a conservation management plan should be developed covering the entire park, followed by an options study that would investigate all possible ways forward, including having some degree of commercial.......
Following their major victories last year, when the North London Waste Authority (NLWA) was told to re-start the process of creating the North London Waste Plan (NLWP) and the Authority formally abandoned an extremely expensive procurement, the Pinkham Way Alliance is warning its supporters to stay alert, as they are convinced that, having bought the Pinkham Wood site, the Authority still wish to construct a large industrial plant there. A further threat is posed by Barnet Council, who.......
Enfield Council has announced that in order to address the shortfall of primary school places in the south west of the Borough it will be adding a new reception class from September. The new class will be a "partner school" managed by Bowes Primary School, which recently received an Outstanding assessment from Ofsted, but initially will be located on the premises of Broomfield School in Wilmer Way. At some future date it will relocate to a permanent home - possibly at the site.......
Further information about how the Cycle Enfield project (formerly "Mini-Holland") will be implemented has been provided by Liam Mulrooney, the council officer who heads the Traffic, Road Safety and Parking Group in Enfield Council's Regeneration and Environment Department. This confirms and supplements the information contained in a recent letter from Mr Mulrooney regarding implementation of Cycle Enfield in Palmers Green.
On Thursday Mr Mulrooney told a meeting of the Enfield.......
Enfield Council has scrapped the system of publicly accessible area forums that was in operation prior to the recent council elections.
Area forums were centrally organised and advertised and brought together councillors and residents from groups of three neighbouring wards.
Instead of area forums there will be Ward Forums, organised by the councillors for each ward. In a letter announcing the change, the Head of Corporate Scrutiny and Community Outreach claims that as a result the.......
Enfield Council have provided a written statement outlining their plans for consultation about implementing the "Mini-Holland" cycle scheme (now rechristened "Cycle Enfield") along Green Lanes and carrying out "urban realm improvements" in Palmers Green town centre. The letter clearly states that it is not the intention of the Council to "remove the Palmers Green Triangle".
As expected, the urban realm improvements will be funded using Cycle Enfield money provided by the Mayor of.......
The 2014 N21 Summer Exhibition on 5th July will be repeating last year's successful formula: artists showing and selling their work on the Green, live acoustic music, Prosecco by the glass and (hopefully this year) sunshine outdoors on the Green, while inside the King's Head craftspeople will be exhibiting and selling their goods, such as ceramics, jewellery and textiles.
This year Southgate Photographic Society will again be showing some of the superb work created by their members, all.......
Last summer we reported on a consultation exercise relating to the route of the planned Crossrail 2 rail link between North London/Hertfordshire and South West London. Subsequently TfL engineers have come up with a modified scheme, based on last year's "Regional Option", and are consulting again, but only in relation to the proposed changes.
The changes to the earlier proposal comprise new options for stations in the Chelsea area and in Hackney and Dalston, but of most interest to.......
The debate about the "Mini-Holland" cycling improvements along Green Lanes has so far been pretty polarized: on the one hand, advocates of cycle lanes along the whole street, on the other some fierce defence of the right of drivers to park in Green Lanes close to the shops they want to visit. Cycle lane supporters claim that there is evidence to suggest that reducing car parking would boost shop sales, those defending the interests of local businesses dismiss this argument as.......
The Enfield Cycling Campaign is hoping that by organising a "Cycle Cash Mob" to coincide with the Palmers Green Festival of Shopping they will be able to soothe the concerns of shopkeepers in Green Lanes about the effects of the planned "Mini-Holland" cycle improvements on their businesses.
The Shopping Carnival will be held on Saturday 5th July and the Cycling Campaign is asking its members - and anyone else who would like to see safer conditions for cyclists in Palmers Green - to assemble in.......
