It's been a busy week for opponents of north London's planned new mega-incinerator. An estimated 600 protesters marched in Edmonton on Sunday and opposition councillors in some of the seven boroughs represented on the North London Waste Authority (NLWA) have been trying to persuade their colleagues to call for a pause and review of the project, on environmental, health and financial grounds.
In the light of the new Edmonton incinerator, which if it gets built will need to be fed with large quantities of 'waste' for several decades, here are two videos about why we need to transition to a circular economy - in very contrasting styles (the first includes some strong language), but essentially telling the same story.
Enfield's planning committee yesterday voted to defer approval of the application to demolish the Intimate Theatre to make place for a new parish centre. This represents a change of mind from November 2020, when the same committee approved an almost identical planning application.

TV cameras were in PG last week, filming one of the free weekly Knit & Natter sessions at Stitch! and talking to the people behind the local craft emporium and some of their regular customers.
After two years of lockdowns and social distancing, Southgate Opera are back next month and are inviting everyone to a hell of a party that will make 10 Downing Street look like Toytown. And this time there'll be no ignoring Public Opinion.
The committee of Fox Lane & District Residents' Association has called an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) on 26th January with the aim of agreeing a revised version of the Association's constitution and introducing a new code of conduct for members. The FLDRA AGM will be held on 30th March.
With only four days to go before the contract to build the new Edmonton Incinerator is due to be signed, councillors from the Green Party and Liberal Democrats have criticised the Mayor of Enfield, accusing him of unnecessarily delaying the date of a council meeting to discuss the contract, meaning that it will take place too late to stop contract signature. Meanwhile, the broadbased coalition which unites members of more than 50 campaign groups and opposes the new incinerator is making preparations for what is likely to be the biggest protest yet, a family-friendly march on Sunday afternoon from Edmonton Green to the misleadingly named 'Eco Park' along the North Circular Road.
