Welcome to Enfield Liberal Democrats
This site provides you with up-to-date information on Liberal Democrat activities in and around Enfield and will keep you informed on important local issues. You can also find out how to join the Liberal Democrats and how you can really make a difference by helping out in Enfield.
There are three Parliamentary constituencies in Enfield, all of which saw the Liberal Democrats increase their share of the vote in the 2005 General Election.
The London Borough of Enfield has 21 wards. Every 4 years there are local elections, during which residents vote 3 councillors per ward onto the Council. Therefore the Borough Council is made up of 63 councillors.
We're here to help
Tue 5th Aug 2008
Southgate residents contacted us about the footpath between Oakwood Avenue and Fountains Crescent. It was overgrown and the badly worn tarmac was becoming dangerous for less sure-footed residents. We contacted the Council and they replaced the tarmac and ensured that the overgrowth was removed. As you can see, the path now looks as good as new.

Fri 4th Jul 2008
Bees may be in trouble in parts of the country but campaigner Paul D Smith was able to help a local swarm find a good home. They appeared in a tree near Paul's workplace and a quick call to Enfield Council resulted in the telephone number for local beekeeper Ronald Hunter.

How to fix a leak
Fri 20th Jun 2008
Persistence! Local campaigner Paul D Smith has spent the last 5 months chasing Thames Water and they have finally fixed a leak. The leak was causing pavement on the New River bridge near Gentlemans Row to become uneven because it was washing the sand under the paving slabs away.

Rats!
Mon 10th Mar 2008
A walk in the park is the last place you want to find a thriving colony of rats, but that is what local activists found in Oakwood Park. Despite park users knowing about the colony, the Council knew nothing about it until Enfield Liberal Democrats informed Pest Control. The rats in the park are now gone, but they'd already spread into surrounding gardens and houses. Enfield Liberal Democrats have circulated leaflets, supplied by Pest Control, describing how to deal with rats and mice.
