Cycle Enfield launches its consultation today on the last of the five major routes to be unveiled in the Mini Holland scheme: the ‘A1010 North’ (Hertford Road) extending north from the junction with Southbury Road. This cycle route forms part of a wider scheme to bring economic and social benefits to this part of Enfield – potentially a huge opportunity for residents.

The consultation launches with a public exhibition at the Dharma Centre, 442-446 Hertford Road, EN3 5QH today, Friday 1st July, from 3pm – 8pm and continues on Saturday 2nd July from 10am – 4pm.

From Monday the plans will be available online at the Cycle Enfield website. Please take a look at them, and the Enfield Cycling Campaign will provide some guidance soon on responding to the consultation.

Cycle Enfield’s revised A105 plans were exhibited last month at Palmers Green library. Here at last is a round-up of our views on the changes:

On Friday I went to one of the last of the London mayoral hustings before the election on 5 May, co-organised by London Cycling Campaign and hosted by The Times in their building on London Bridge Road. There were three of us from Enfield Cycle Campaign: David Hilliard and Andrew Larssen, who both cycled from Enfield, and myself (Clare Rogers) who chickened out and took the train.

This conference at Enfield’s Dugdale Centre on Friday 8 April left me feeling both inspired and daunted – inspired because we were shown what is possible and already being done in the Netherlands – and daunted because Enfield has such a long way to go. Continue reading →

Don’t miss an afternoon of cycle-themed fun this Friday in Enfield Town centre! It’s for you – and your children/grandchildren/nephews/nieces – whether or not you already ride a bike.

The Enfield Cycling Fair will be an opportunity for the public to try out different bikes, discover that you CAN transport kids and shopping on two wheels, and have a go at the rollapaluza – a stationary bike race for ages 7 and up.

It’s from 12-5 on Fountain Island (opposite Barclays Bank on Church Street) and there will also be food and music.

It’s also not too late to volunteer to help out on the stall so let Clare know if you can on chocrogers@hotmail.com. Thank you!
