Raising money to install and fill planters at Winchmore Hill Train Station

We have mentioned it previously but we are now ready to raise funds and get this project going. Below is the flyer we have created to hand out and deliver to businesses and residents in the next few days. We need to raise at least £1300 on top of the money provided by Great Northern, this is to make sure we can get good quality planters and hanging baskets. We also need enough of them to make a difference plus of course compost, plants and flowers. If you want to share this flyer you can download the pdf by clicking here or on either of the images of the flyer below.

There is a full proposal as well so if you want to read this you can do so here. It doesn’t matter how much you can contribute, all donations gratefully accepted. You can do so via this Paypal fundraising link here where you can pay with a Paypal account or just with a card as you would for any other online purchase. Thank you. We will update you with the amount raised later in the month by email and on this page.

 

 


Are you fed up with Enfield’s lack of rubbish clearance?

 

Maria who is our Environmental rep works tirelessly to raise awareness of issues relating to our borough and not just Winchmore Hill. She is understandably fed up, as are many people, that Enfield doesn’t seem to care or be able to spend some of the high council tax they receive from us on essential services relating to regular street cleaning and fly tipped rubbish clearance.

She has put together a petition on Change.org to highlight this and show Enfield that people in large numbers do care about this and hopefully shame the council into focusing on this as a basic service they should provide to residents regardless of the councils financial difficulty.

The petition at the time of writing this is just a couple of signatures away from a 1,000 signatures. Please help her to get to this milestone and beyond by signing the petition. You can see the petition here: https://www.change.org/p/enfield-council-clean-our-streets?

 



Christmas Tree and Carols

As many of you will know there was a slight change of plan with the Christmas tree. We were supposed to plant one with a rootball but the position we had in mind was deemed not to be suitable and the tree that was supplied to the company to deliver was not of the quality they were expecting. They had an 18 foot cut tree that was ordered but not going to be used by someone else so they brought that along as you can see below.

It looked great when lit and was the centre piece of the St. Paul’s Carols on the Green which was a huge success with over 400 people turning up to sing carols, enjoy mulled wine and an amazing range of food. It was a real triumph and also very importantly raised lots of money for Crisis. It just goes to show that the Christmas community spirit is alive and well.

We wanted to just say a massive thank you again to the businesses below who have been very generous in donating towards the Christmas tree especially during a time when all of us and in particular businesses are under real financial pressure. Please support these and all the other businesses in the area this Christmas and New Year.
