Welcome
This is the website for the Enfield Town Residents Association (ETRA). Stronger Together.
IMPORTANT: THIS AFFECTS US ALL
DWS and RivingtonHark are in the early stages of creating a new proposal to transform the Palace Gardens Shopping Centre into “a more vibrant, welcoming and sustainable destination.”
This is the first stage of public consultation, focused on listening to the community — understanding what people value about Palace Gardens today and what they would like to see in its future.
Obviously, we want to see exactly what their proposals are, and how it affects residents as well as the shopping experience.
Initial proposals and the chance to Have Your Say are in the following document:
You can meet the Project Team in person at:
- When: Thursday 11 December, 3–7pm
- When: Saturday 13 December, 10am–2pm
- Where: Hatton Walk, between Three and Rituals
Members of the Enfield Town Residents’ Association are hoping to meet the Project Team prior to the consultation. If you have any questions you would like us to raise, please email us on enfieldtownresidents@gmail.com by December 8th 2025.
AGM Feedback
We had a very successful AGM and received £125 membership renewal fees at the door.
We would like to thank the guest speakers: Tina Coletta from Love Your Doorstep, Community Police Officers, Councilor Chris Dey, and Alessandro Georgiou for their input.
Enfield Market has had a Charter since 1303. Located in The Market Place in the heart of Enfield Town, it is held in trust for the benefit of local people, and is enjoyed by people from across the borough and further afield. Click here for the Enfield Town Market link.
Visitors to the market can find everyday household staples alongside homemade, handmade and specialist goods, and we’re always on the look-out for innovative, quality traders to join the market.
The Market House is a place where we actively encourage buskers, entertainers and we have an active programme of events. All year round an open air Food Court sells international street food daily.
We are looking to strengthen our committee.
We would love to hear from anybody who would like to be involved. The continuation of our Association depends on local residents volunteering their time. We are specifically looking for someone who can take on the role of Treasurer, but would also welcome anybody who time to spare and can help in any way whatsoever. Please do get in touch on enfieldtownresidents@gmail.com
ETRA exists to safeguard and promote the interest of residents in the area on all matters that affect our lives, including:
- Planning
- The environment
- Transport
- Parks, leisure and recreation
- Culture and community events and facilities
- Housing
- Services
We do this by informing residents of events and issues in our patch and the surrounding areas through our weekly newsletter; by encouraging residents to engage in consultations, discussions and research; by representing the views of members at meetings and forums across the borough and more widely across London; and by actively campaigning to improve community facilities and services for our members.
