14 Jun 2025 The Metropolitan Police have provided the following information and appeal: “On Thursday, 12 June at 22:35hrs officers responded to reports of gunshots in Palmers Green, N13. “Shortly after at 22:57hrs officers were called to more gunshots observed at another address in Palmers Green. “Later at 23:33hrs police attended a hospital in Enfield after a 32-year-old man presented with stab wounds.[…]

13 Jun 2025 Sections of at least four streets in Palmers Green remained cordoned off until the late afternoon on Friday 13th June as police and forensics officers continued to investigate an incident involving gunshots and a stabbing in town centre that occurred in the late evening on Thursday and left the stab victim with life-threatening injuries.
12 Jun 2025 I would like to address some of the points made by Sarah Brooks and Pymmes Brookers in their petition: “The river sits ecologically dead” – I disagree on this. I know from my own pond dipping that it contains sticklebacks (a kind of small fish), water slaters, chironomid midges and snails. The sticklebacks provide food for kingfishers and herons. The[…]
12 Jun 2025 A typical Tory. Oppose for the sake of opposing, regardless of the benefits.
11 Jun 2025 With regard to the earlier discussion about the historic course of the Pymmes Brook, the Pymmes BrookERS have sent the following: Interesting about the comments about history. Almost no river in UK runs in its original course – they have all been diverted, straightened, turned into ditches and worse. The river would have been more towards the centre of the[…]
11 Jun 2025 In addition to the petition against the Pymmes Park river restoration project that was signed by some 700 opponents of the scheme, there is now a petition in support of the project that was launched three days ago and so far has garnered 116 votes. www.change.org/p/support-for-the-river-restoration-project-in-arnos-park The person who started the petition, Sarah Brooks, is a member of the Pymmes[…]
11 Jun 2025 To keep everyone up to date - the 'invitees only' meeting has now been fixed for June 26th. We do not yet know who will be attending this meeting, although an agenda and list of attendees will be circulated 7 days beforehand. Obviously, we would expect some public engagement events to be arranged, once we know the details of what,[…]
8 Jun 2025 Learning to make tasty, nutritionally balanced meals is a life skill with huge mental and physical health benefits. Cooking Champions would like to run more childrens' cooking lessons in their community kitchen, using fresh produce and respecting dietary and cultural choices. Your donations will be match funded by the Childhood Trust.
8 Jun 2025 I found myself reflecting on Richard Crutchley’s post when reading two articles from different ends of the political press this weekend. First was Norman Foster, (they indicate “the”) world leading architect, in a major Daily Telegraph interview. He argues for the green belt’s extension, not from a typical environmental base, but rather to avoid urban sprawl, so generating compact cities,[…]
7 Jun 2025 Just to clarify the situation re the 2008 project, initially referenced in this forum, last year, I have now received a response from a representative of Enfield's 'Bluegreen' team stating:'I forwarded this link on to my line manager who’s been working for the council a lot longer than I have.He believes the council were not involved with the proposals at[…]

5 Jun 2025 I've had Tory leaflets through the letter box that say much the same thing. I don't agree with the idea, because it's on the wrong side of history, but I despise even more the lack of any reasoning, evidence or facts stated for wanting to do this, any consideration of the impacts and consequences, the cost, public opinion or what[…]
5 Jun 2025 Such a shame the photo didn’t catch the Fox Lane bridge vegetable peel dumper in action. That would have formed a constructive intervention.
5 Jun 2025 Thanks for highlighting this article. We await the public engagement events with interest. A public workshop event was recently advertised, and then withdrawn. Currently, an 'invitees only' event is being planned, but we don't know when this will be, or who will be invited. But I went back to read your initial posting on this topic, last year, and you[…]
5 Jun 2025 The mixed feelings about the proposal to re-meander the Pymmes Brook in Arnos Park were reported in the Enfield Dispatch this week under the headline Council urged to rethink Pymmes Brook 'restoration' plan for Arnos Park . The Dispatch reports that 700 residents have signed a petition opposing the scheme, arguing that it would split the park in two and[…]
4 Jun 2025 [Original article] Article not displaying properly? Click here The leader of the Conservative group on Enfield Council has stated that if he becomes council leader every low-traffic neighbourhood in the borough will be 'ripped out'. Cllr Alessandro Georgiou made the promise to remove low-traffic neighbourhoods in Enfield in a video which was posted to his X account on 2nd June.[…]
3 Jun 2025 Enfield Archaeological Society has published a report on the excavation that its members carried out in late April and early May behind the ruins of Broomfield House. Two trenches were dug in order to investigate a 'presumed water feature' known from previous archaeological evidence. EAS has concluded that the 'canal' that they unoovered was too shallow to have been intended[…]
3 Jun 2025 I should like to thank Basil for his very helpful and interesting research, evidenced by the maps. This does agree with the maps which Gary has provided us with. We now all appear to agree that the original site of Pymmes Brook has not been significantly changed, as it now passes through Arnos Park, except for the south eastern section. […]
2 Jun 2025 This discussion has prompted me to further look into maps showing the Pymmes Brook before Arnos Park was created. On the National Library of Scotland website I found a more detailed map - 6 inches to the mile - dating from some time between the 1840s and 1880s. Using the facility on that website I've superimposed the outline of the[…]
31 May 2025 I have just returned from a very enjoyable visit to Arnos Park, and I must congratulate the incredible work undertaken by the Friends of Arnos Park, during their regular maintenance session, this morning. We owe so much to this hard-working band of willing volunteers. The park looked wonderful, as always, but the work they undertake to maintain the pathways, trees[…]
