Say ‘No’ to Arnos Grove Controlled Parking Zone

by

Enfield Council is consulting on the introduction of a Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) covering the area from The Green, Southgate to Station Road, New Southgate and from Waterfall Road down to the North Circular. The CPZ will apply 7 days a week, from 8.00am to 7.30pm, meaning only residents in the CPZ  area will be able to park there and only if they buy a parking permit.  The roads near retail outlets will become ‘pay to park’.

This will severely impact shops, businesses, religious venues, community meeting spaces in and around the CPZ.  It will also severely impact residents of the CPZ, people living in the surrounding roads and anyone using the retail outlets at The Green. The link below provides more detail, the consultation is open until Friday 13th September.

The Rise and Fall of The Dukes of Chandos

by

This was developed as a talk to share information on the historical background to the Dukes of Chandos and their connection with Southgate. The first Duke of Chandos lived at Canons Park in Little Stanmore. The second Duke had to dispose of Canons Park to settle debts and the third Duke married into Southgate money and the Minchenden Estate. The third Duke’s daughter was betrothed aged six in a classic arranged marriage and contracted aged 14 to the first Duke of Buckingham and Chandos.

Stressed Trees

Many of the young trees that were planted a few years ago are under stress due to lack of water. If there is a young tree near your property, please would you throw a can of water over it from time to time.

Local Heritage Project

by

The London Borough of Enfield, in association with the National Lottery Heritage Fund, are seeking project ideas from across the Borough.
They are particularly keen to hear from people or groups who have not applied for Lottery funding previously.
LBE is running a special training event on Thursday 30th January at the Dugdale Centre starting at 6pm to help people with their project ideas and bid submissions.
Funding is available for projects from £5000 upwards.

 

Southgate Green Association will be submitting an application and we  are preparing a list of possible projects for consideration and we are very keen to hear from SGA members who may have ideas of their own.
Currently, our list includes:
Reinstating the Duchess Pond on The Green
Replacing the steel posts and rails around the Village Stocks on The Green
Installing a public notice board on Cannon Hill to promote local events and community group notices

Please let us know if you have any ideas that you would like us to put forward. !
