Action for Enfield's Future - a non-political consortium of Enfield-based residents and civil sector groups - are asking the borough's residents to write to their ward councillors requesting a special ward forum to discuss the draft Enfield Local Plan. In Winchmore Hill ward the discussion will take place on 19th January.
In an open letter published today (see below) Action for Enfield's Future have provided contact details for each ward's councillors, together with brief information about what the draft plan envisages for each ward with regard to housebuilding, tall buildings and declassification of green belt land.
Action for Enfield's Future are keen that all councillors should be aware of their constituents' views regarding various aspects of the draft plan before it is debated by Full Council on 6th March. To help residents take part in the ward forums they will be providing lists of relevant questions to put to councillors.

Open letter to Enfield residents from Action for Enfield's future
Everyone who lives, works, learns, plays in Enfield will be affected by Enfield Council's Local Plan. It will shape the physical, environmental, social and economic landscape locally for decades to come.
The council has promised that councillors will “engage with businesses, communities and residents”. So please write to your local councillors to ensure this happens.
Ask them to set up a ward forum in February to discuss the Local Plan and what it means for you.
Over the next few weeks we will be publishing questions that you might want to ask your councillors at your ward forum.
We all have a part to play in determining the contents of the plan. Enfield is our home, we belong here, and we have just eight weeks in which to let our councillors know what we think before March 6 when they vote on the plan at Full Council. The table contains the information you need.
Action for Enfield’s Future is a non-political and inclusive group of Enfield residents and community groups including the Enfield Society, Better Homes Enfield. Enfield Roadwatch and Enfield Climate Action Forum.
