“Enfield Labour Council gave a sweet heart deal to Tottenham Hotspur FC to destroy Whitewebbs park and replace an open green space with a training ground.”Part of a no-confidence motion tabled for Council this month. No financial sense, adequate provision[…]
After the first session on Monday 12th January, Richard Forbes emailed to say: "I just wanted to get in touch with you to let you know that our opening session at the Fox last night was a huge success. The[…]
Hi, I have realised that while this is an inconvenience it may not work to change access to the station in the morning. Am guessing that southbound trains are not actually stopping at the station all day and northbound trains[…]
No question, encouraging walking would be aided by an improvement to the often-dreadful state of our pavements, as well as safer road crossing areas. I would add the speed and noise of adjoining traffic can be off putting for walkers[…]
I think Wendy makes a good point. Personally I don't think any of these schemes are about improvements for walking. If you look at the cycle lanes in Green Lanes from Palmers Green to Enfield Town there has been little[…]

Not sure why you have singled out Reform for this. All the parties promise the earth in their manifestos, knowing they will never deliver. The Labour party have demonstrated this time and again, for example.
The management of waste in north London has long been an area of concern, all too often subject to seemingly unsatisfactory answers to reasonable questions. The new incinerator project at Edmonton Eco Park progresses but the land at Pinkham Way remains untouched. Its value and basis of valuation has long been a moot point – a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC), part owned by Barnet Council, the remainder by the NLWA, subject to contamination in past years, making any clear-up extremely costly.
Barnet values its share at so much; NLWA on the other hand values its part (and bear in mind these are essentially two parts of the same relatively small piece of land) at several times more; and now, at even more times more.
The NLWA and the NLWA Audit Committee meet today (27/4/23) to finalise the long delayed 2020/21 audited accounts. A reasonable question was sent to the auditor earlier in the week pointing out where reasonable seemed to lie, and not lie; attached for those interested.
What eventually follows, and why, may be interesting.
