Enfield Council must drop blanket plan to stop locking its parks at night

Enfield Council is planning to withdraw all night locking from 22 parks in the borough. If implemented, the pedestrian gates of those parks that have always been locked would be left open all night.


This decision has caused alarm amongst local Friends of Parks groups and concern to residents, especially those with homes that back on to parks, who fear they will be exposed to intruders at night.


We the undersigned insist that Enfield Council thinks again, gives proper regard to the safety of persons and valuable community assets, and drops the blanket proposal to stop locking its parks at night.
