Enfield Council has announced that work will start on 26th September lasting up to 4 weeks to de-silt the New River Loop. The work takes place between the Crown and Horseshoes pub and Enfield Town Park. There will be temporary restrictions to parking around the works, as well a the closure of the footpath across The Green from the Chris Jephcott Bridge and Gentleman’s Row.
This long-overdue work will help with the River quality, but much more work is needed to improve this much-loved local amenity.
