Question 1. What do think is good about the area?
Some useful shops – supermarkets, hardware shop, Boots, Clarks.
Broomfield Park is lovely.
Good train link to Herts/London.
Question 2. What do you think is less good about the area?
Cramped pavements, difficult to cross main shopping street (no pedestrian crossing between triangle and post office. Little parking at post office end of street.
Narrow range of shops – need to go to Enfield or Wood Green for clothing, furniture etc.
Question 3. What would you like to see to improve the area?
Pedestrian crossing half-way up high street.
Wider range of shops.
Question 4d. Specific aspects – look of the shops/architecture
- I have a feeling they used to look better, but that was before my time here (10 years) – I don’t have any specific complaints or suggestions.
Question 4f. Specific aspects – amount and use of pavement space
- Pavements as stated above do seem cramped on the west side in particular. I’m not sure whether fewer fittings would help.
Question 4g. Specific aspects – the Triangle public space
- I think there are plans to plant a new tree. Will there be benches there? What is the state of the former underground public toilets? Can that space be used for anything (eg public toilets!)
Question 4h. Specific aspects – Greenery
Planters on the east side would be good where there’s a wide enough pavement.
