After gaining £1.5 million last year under the Pride in Place scheme, I have now secured another £20 million of long-term funding for the Enfield Wash area (spanning parts of Brimsdown and Carterhatch).

What makes this investment especially important is that local people will help shape what happens next, not politicians behind closed doors.

I will be working closely with Enfield Council to help establish a Neighbourhood Board, which will oversee how the funding is spent and develop a local Pride in Place plan. That process will be open, transparent and properly rooted in the views of residents, so that decisions reflect the priorities of the community.
