Enfield Society talk: The Mysterious Case of the Victorian Female Detective
11 Dec 2025 Not sure why there have not been any comments on this post so far as it was also shown last week but could be because nothing is decided as yet and no commitment made to budget or timescale so it is simply a vision of what the town centre in Southgate could look like and also the possible impact of[…]
8 Dec 2025 [Original article] Article not displaying properly? Click here Enfield Council's recently published vision for the future of Southgate town centre outlines proposals that, when implemented, will greatly improve the "liveability" of the area around the iconic underground station and nearby shopping streets, potentially boosting their commercial viability and creating a pleasanter and healthier environment. Chase Side re-imagined: an illustration from[…]
8 Dec 2025 On the basis of public responses to a consultation held in late 2024, Enfield Council's Journeys & Places team have published an 'accessible summary' of its 'masterplan vision' for future improvements to Southgate town centre, to be implemented in stages as and when funding becomes available.
4 Dec 2025 Yes, you guessed it! The man hiding behind the Poirot moustache is none other than our esteemed MP, Bambos Charalambous. He included this photo in his most recent email newsletter to constituents. It was his contribution to Movember - a global movement that funds and supports projects to improve men's health, especially mental health, prostate cancer and testicular cancer.
3 Dec 2025 The public are being invited to put their views to the team that will be taking a 'fresh approach' to redevelopment of the Palace Gardens shopping centre in Enfield Town. In a change from earlier proposals, redevelopment is now envisaged for only part of Palace Gardens and none of the somewhat newer Palace Exchange shopping centre, located to the east[…]
3 Dec 2025 Welcome to Unique Minds Tutoring, where every child is supported to learn, grow and thrive as their authentic self. With over 30 years’ experience across mainstream schools, special schools and Alternative Provisions, I have dedicated my career to helping children feel understood, capable and confident. I have worked extensively in SEND, including part-time SENDCo roles, and have led specialist nurture[…]
3 Dec 2025 Back in the day (a hundred years or so) in New Orleans, the birthplace of Jazz, a 'Professor' was someone who played piano in a brothel. In 2025, the considerably more prestigious Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance also has a Jazz Professor - and he's heading our way this month to institute a regular series of Jazz concerts[…]
3 Dec 2025 Arriving before Christmas cards are leaflets preparing us for next year’s local election. Labour’s proposal to crush the cars of people who dump rubbish was most likely a cut and paste editing error rather than proposed policy, but it may gain support. More jarring was the conservative leaflet and its lead to remove LTN’s. LTN’s installed over many years cover[…]
26 Nov 2025 (Click on the image to enlarge) In addition to Karl Brown's detailed points (above) about the absurd position being taken by Haringey Council with regard to the former sewage works but now protected nature site to the south west of the Pinkham Way section of the North Circular Road, Steven Brice, who chairs the Pinkham Way Alliance (PWA) campaign, has[…]
25 Nov 2025 [Original article] Article not displaying properly? Click here How are the loss of community spaces, the housing crisis, structural racism and the climate emergency connected? Join Landlines, a new peer learning project at Dugdale Arts Centre for local people aged 18–35 to come together and creatively explore how land ownership shapes the way we live, connect, and belong. An opportunity to[…]
25 Nov 2025 [Original article] Article not displaying properly? Click here Karl Brown argues why Enfield residents should lend their voices to a campaign to ensure that a Grade 1 Site of Importance for Nature Conservation just over the border in Haringey should no longer be classified as suitable for industrial uses. As Enfield’s Local Plan trundles through its final stage, that of neighbouring[…]

Join Landlines, a new peer learning project at Dugdale Arts Centre for local people aged 18–35 to come together and creatively explore how land ownership shapes the way we live, connect, and belong. An opportunity to involve younger people in conversations about the[…]

23 Nov 2025 We’re now in National Tree Week and the good news is that half of the 49 saplings grown from the illegally felled sycamore gap tree will be planted out this week. The two perpetrators were jailed for more than four years each. I can’t recall reading of similar justice applying to perpetrators of the illegally felled and ecologically more valuable[…]

17 Nov 2025 In the face of what is likely to be the worst flu season for a decade, Age UK London have advice for older Londoners to help them make informed choices about their health. And on Thursday 20th November, they'll be running an online advice session where you can put your questions to the experts.
