We're here to help
Tue 5th Aug 2008
Southgate residents contacted us about the footpath between Oakwood Avenue and Fountains Crescent. It was overgrown and the badly worn tarmac was becoming dangerous for less sure-footed residents. We contacted the Council and they replaced the tarmac and ensured that the overgrowth was removed. As you can see, the path now looks as good as new.

Rats!
Mon 10th Mar 2008
A walk in the park is the last place you want to find a thriving colony of rats, but that is what local activists found in Oakwood Park. Despite park users knowing about the colony, the Council knew nothing about it until Enfield Liberal Democrats informed Pest Control. The rats in the park are now gone, but they'd already spread into surrounding gardens and houses. Enfield Liberal Democrats have circulated leaflets, supplied by Pest Control, describing how to deal with rats and mice.

By-Election Result
Fri 11th Aug 2006
The voting is over and the result of the Turkey Street by-election on August 10th is through. Unfortunately the Liberal democrat candidate, David Peters, didn't win the seat. The turnout was a lowly 24.8% - boasted by 56% of postal voters returning their ballot papers. Having the by-election during August probably helped the Tories just about retain the seat.
