What We Do?
We are a team of journalists and lawyers who live in Enfield. We're not politicians dropped in for a few years, before they move somewhere else, we intend to live out our lives in Enfield and want it to be a better, accountable place. We have a history of fighting for worthwhile causes and protecting the heritage (both physical and social) of Enfield. We want a vibrant dynamic future for Enfield, full of technological opportunities, not some mindless, forgotten, ignored backwater with bottom of the income-scale residents.

Medical Policy

How much longer is the waiting list? The ludicrous nature of increasing housing without increasing hospital capacity. Stop selling off hospitals for housing!

Have your say in Planning & Housing
Planning and Housing Development is critical but often impenetrable to most people. Whether it's builders seeking unnecessary planning consent when permitted development rights exist, or the Council permitting building on green belts instead of insisting on brown-field sites being used first or a developer seeking to build a skyscraper overlooking heritage and conservation sites, have your say! Enfield needs housing but not at the cost of Enfield's community and its current residents. Central Government imposes a minimum number of new housing units per year without providing adequate money for the increased load for hospitals and schools, when levelling up should allow the pressure on London housing to be relieved by increased housing units in the midlands and north of England as well as Wales and Scotland.  UK Border Force predict that up to 60,000 people could arrive in the UK illegally from channel crossings in 2022, up from just 8.404 in 2020...that's approximately 8,000 families and 30,000 single people - or to put in another way (assuming the single people take one bedroom each) that accounts for 22,000 of the 175,000 new housing starts just to house illegal immigrants crossing the channel...approximately 12.5% of new housing. At a single stroke, changing the rules to say no right to stay if you illegally cross the channel would relieve 1/8th of the pressure on housing at a stroke.


Healthcare in Crisis
Outside any question of immigration, our healthcare system is collapsing under the increasing populations. In August 2022, an ill child who was forced to sleep on the floor because of a lack of beds at the hospital treating him bringing the future of the NHS sharply into focus. Mark Clements got from Brixton to Devon (200 miles) to  help his 77-year-old mother, fallen and lying on her cold conservatory floor with a broken hip, and got there before an ambulance arrived. AgeUK say more than 1.4 million people over the age of 65 are currently unable to access support despite having an identified need for assistance with basic tasks like getting dressed and washing. In Enfield, we've seen hospitals like Chase Farm drastically cut back , when in fact it should have been expanded across the entire site to accommodate the increased population needs....and this has been going on for decades..... not just under the Tories but for decades under Labour too.


Creating Enfield's Future Jobs
The Council continues to promote development of industry providing low-paid jobs and poor prospects, many of which are short-term and will rapidly be replaced in the next 2 decades by automation. It promotes the Arts  and poorly paid artists over sensible policies about equipping the population of Enfield as a high-skilled hi-tech workforce for the future. If Shoreditch can do it, why can't Enfield! Enfield used to be a manufacturing centre of excellence, why can't the Council redirect funding to provide the skills and encourage high-skills education and jobs in Enfield?...or is it stuck forever in the mentality of the 1980s...come on Counsellor Caliskan show some leadership and lead Enfield into a high-skilled high-paid tech-jobs future.

Campaign Videos

Some of the campaigns that are in place in Enfield. If you have a video you want to send us, get in touch. We'll consider it, but it must be respectful, truthful, balanced, non-insulting, racially neutral and non-defamatory.

The secret formula of campaigns

The Courage to Change

What for Enfield with a new Prime Minister?

The Enfield Choice

Together We can Make Enfield Great Again!
Historically, Enfield was the choice of location for the medieval Royalty to relax in their hunting lodges, which gave Enfield Elsyng Palance, Enfield Palace, Broomfield House, Camlet Manor and a whole host of great buildings, many of which no longer exist due to decades of poor investment decisions and Council neglect. With forward-sighted, not party-politically driven decisions, Enfield can be great again, .but only when the Council decides to drop the politics from decisions. Funding the arts is good but outdated, but funding a technology driven future brings in the income for families which in turn provides the income to pay for the Arts, and repay some of the Enfield black-hole of debt that the Council doesn't want people to talk about.
