In 2020 Enfield Council’s Healthy Streets Team created a new footpath along the west side of the Lea Navigation in Ponder’s End. However, it stopped 3m short of the Lea Valley Road underpass. The missing link is to be installed by the Highways Department.
Despite numerous attempts by The Enfield Society to get the missing link added, nothing has been done. It is now over a year. The vegetation has now been cut in preparation for the link, but still no access.
Yesterday we again asked the Council for an explanation. We have now heard that the link will be installed “towards the end of February”. We assume that’s 2022!
