Work to replace the current temporary layout of Devonshire Square with a permanent design will start in early January and be completed in March, ready for formal inauguration in April.
The reopening of Palmers Green's largest pub, the Alfred Herring, has been put back by a week and will now take place on 15th December
Enfield Council is currently advertising for a multidisciplinary team, led by a conservation landscape architect, to deliver the project to dismantle the remains of Broomfield House, 'memorialise' it, bring the land it occupied back into use as part of Broomfield Park and restore various heritage...
A new operator has been found for the Alfred Herring pub in Green Lanes. It will be re-opening as a "vibrant sports bar" with an "exciting food offering".
New artworks at Enfield Chase station drawing inspiration from local history were officially unveiled on 28th September.
Five gorgeous models, all from the local community, strutted their stuff last weekend on a catwalk set up in Palmers Green's new space, Devonshire Square.

Last week the news was that PG will be losing one landmark - the Intimate Theatre. This week we can report the restoration of an old landmark, the turret on the Fox pub, complete with weathercock - or should that be "weatherfox"?
It's very nice to have the turret back, and I look forward to having the pub back (this decade perhaps?). But one thing troubles me about the new/old turret. I think that the fox on the turret may have lost his bearings and is confusing his north with his east and his south with his west.
My photo is of low quality, but I think it shows the wind direction arrow pretty nearly aligned with the Green Lanes frontage of the building, which is not far off north-south (perhaps SSW), but that's not what the direction pointers indicate. To check we need someone with a better camera to take a picture square on from Green Lanes. And then we'll need a volunteer to climb up and put things right!
