Welcome to Enfield Liberal Democrats

We are the local branch of the Liberal Democrats, acting on your behalf to make Enfield a better place to live. We believe in a fair, free and open society that encourages an equal community with everybody benefiting from the work of the local Council, Greater London Authority, London Mayor, Westminster and the European Union.

We work in the Borough meeting residents to canvass their views and challenging the Council to reflect the views of all its residents in all of its decisions. We also get involved, helping residents solve problems for themselves.

If you are interested in helping the LibDems locally - delivering leaflets, reporting problems to us or even joining the party - then get in touch.

Spot the difference

Thu 4th Feb 2010

This is Monks Road in Enfield. One of these lamp posts is brand new and being installed as part of the PFI funded replacement of lamp posts all over Enfield - but which one? Clearly the other is a replacement installed not long ago so why bother replacing it again? This is the worse example of this PFI wasting money that we've found so far, beating the previous winner in Crown Lane, Southgate, where a "new" lamp post was replaced by another one a whole 3 feet away. Can you find an even better example? Do let us know if you do.

Quotes of the Week

"I hate to say it, but only one party leader seems to have grasped that, if you construct a system where unskilled people are worse off by taking a job than by staying on welfare, they remain trapped in poverty - and that is Nick Clegg."

Lord Norman Tebbit

Daily Telegraph online - 13 Jan

"It's unbelievable that the Tories are still planning to cut taxes for a handful of millionaires when the majority of people across the country are feeling the squeeze. We need fair tax cuts that put money back in the pockets of ordinary people. The Tory sums simply do not stack up. It is irresponsible and highly misleading for George Osborne to continue to pretend that they do."

Vince Cable MP
