NEW NEIGHBOURHOOD: COLOSSEUM RETAIL PARK
With its location at the junction of Southbury Road and the A10, Colosseum Retail Park is uniquely placed to create a new neighbourhood, and to link East and West Enfield. The site represents an exciting opportunity, in line with emerging policy, to take a low-density ageing retail park and transform it into a thriving community.
In addition to new homes, of which 35% will be affordable, the development is expected to support over 325 jobs on site once fully operational, together with 155 jobs during construction. A significant amount of new public realm and open space will also be created, including two new parks, equivalent to the size of 65 tennis courts, and amounting to over a third of the site area.

THE MAN WHO LEFT IS NOT THE MAN WHO CAME HOME
A new play telling the story of armed forces personnel and their families, is coming to Enfield.
Chloé has bright hopes for her future with Ashley. But those hopes are overshadowed by imminent challenges - because Ashley is in the armed forces and is due to be deployed on operations abroad. Behind closed doors there’s tenderness and humour, but as the day of Ashley’s departure comes ever closer, their confrontations multiply.
Kevin Dyer’s new play is presented by a cast of three including a military wife, will be followed by a facilitated collective conversation about the country we live in.
The play is the product of over a hundred interviews with soldiers and their wives – each a one-to-one conversation where secrets, regrets and untold details have been shared for the first time.
When: Saturday, 29 February @ 7.30pm.
