Enfield Council sets up Trent Park Mansion Working Group
The Council has set up a cross party councillor Working Group to work with the Receiver tasked with finding a buyer for the Trent Park Mansion building. The Group will be meeting the Receiver shortly to emphasise that the views of the local community should be taken into account in any development proposals that come forward in the future.
Whilst accepting that the Council is not currently in a position to financially support any acquisition of the site, the Group will assist in looking to ensure a positive solution that would not only secure, protect and promote the long term future for the heritage assets on the site but also their public use and ongoing maintenance.
Chair of the Group, Councillor Bambos Charalambous said “Both political parties on the Council accept that we are not currently in a position to financially support any acquisition of the site. However, we are committed to trying to secure its proper maintenance as a listed building and its retention in some way as a community asset.”
