8 Jul 2025 On Saturday 19th July Conway Tennis Club invites neighbours and friends to a Centenary Community Festival right in the heart of Palmers Green’s Conway Rec — and it promises to be a brilliant afternoon for all ages.

6 Jul 2025 I do appreciate the manner in which Irene wishes to gain more information about this extremely contentious issue.  Like her, I was undecided, and not a member of a group with very specific objectives and aims, such as Pymmes BrookERS.  I was simply an Arnos Park user, who loved this much valued the park.  I have now spoken to so[…]

3 Jul 2025 A short film about the decoration of the hoardings around the ruins of Broomfield House: 'The interest shown by the public is a sign that something is happening

3 Jul 2025 I use Arnos Park, as a dog walker.  I am very interested in this debate, and do not yet have a view either way, as I feel quite ignorant as to the ins and outs of this issue.  I'd like to thank you all for explaining things from each side, to help me form a view.  So far, it is[…]

3 Jul 2025 That is the third time I have seen a car wrapped around that traffic island outside the Fox pub. The people driving the cars are not necessarily rich and are more likely to be young (18-21) drivers who have bought the cars using lease-financing which is cheaper than loans. They don't own the cars at the end of the term[…]

3 Jul 2025 When will speed controls and traffic light offences be implemented? It is a wild west rodeo out there!

This was the scene near the Fox in Green Lanes on Sunday morning. With utterly irresponsible people behind the wheel of so many cars, is it surprising that fatalities on London's roads are rising?

2 Jul 2025 With provisional 2024 statistics showing an increase in fatalities on London's roads, the Action Vision Zero campaign calls on the Metropolitan Police to reprioritise their speed enforcement efforts to focus more on roads with 20mph and 30mph limits, where 92% of deaths and serious injuries occurred.

2 Jul 2025 I've been sent some statistics about the Londonist Time Machine's article about Broomfield House. Despite having been published on 25th June, it's already the fifth most viewed article on the Time Machine website since it launched two years ago, having garnered 22,800 views and a fair number of comments from readers, some of whom lived here back in the day,[…]

30 Jun 2025 A round trip today to the RHS Hampton Court show: there by train, tube and train but back in the car as Mrs B had been staying nearby for three days judging. Two hours for the 18-mile journey, with congestion all the way – Kingston, Twickenham, Kew etc etc – that was until we came off the North Circular into[…]

25 Jun 2025 Community Engagement Event, June 26th 2025, Cancelled! This eagerly awaited event, where LBE officers would explain their proposals for Arnos Park, and listen to the views of invited representatives, was suddenly cancelled last Friday.  This was apparently do to an insufficient number of invitees confirming their attendance.  Obviously, those of us who had made a commitment to attend were extremely[…]

25 Jun 2025 A London local history blogger pays an overdue visit to Broomfield Park

22 Jun 2025 Such a horrible take. Who wants to be living in high traffic neighbourhoods, speeding roads, having the traffic overflowing. Who likes car noise outside in their house? Are there people that really want to those? Maybe they should be campaigning for more. Maybe he should go down in Hackney to have a look. I went through a few of the[…]

19 Jun 2025 Every single Enfield LTN to be ripped out. So, locally that includes the Broomfield Avenue centred LTN, which has been in place for three decades, installed to stop roughly 10,000 vehicle trips per day destroying that neighbourhood. More than that, it formed one part of a “parallel Green Lanes” bringing serious through traffic onto Hoppers / Woodside, Burford / Caversham,[…]

18 Jun 2025 Pop into the Southgate Club during its opening hoursto view the second ART IS exhibition, showcasing the powerful expressions of some unique artists who are in care in our community.

17 Jun 2025 Merkur Slots gets several mentions (not in a good way) in a programme on Radio 4 that was broadcast today: File on Four Investigates: Adult Gaming Centres It's clear from this programme that some vulnerable people are losing much more than they can afford and that lives are being ruined. And if the experiences recounted here are typical, it's clear[…]

17 Jun 2025 River Restoration NOT River Relocation!!! I must stress that this is the view of the overwhelming majority of Arnos Park users.  We know this from all the time that has been spent collecting almost 800 signatures for the hard copy petition opposing the river relocation proposal.  We have shown park users the plans of the proposal, and heard their views. […]
