Have Your Say on Southgate Town Hall
Enfield Council has begun a consultation process to guide the future development of the Southgate Town Hall site including Palmers Green Library.
The plan is now to refurbish the library on its current site (not move it to Palmers Green High Street as proposed under the previous administration) and make the rest of the site available for redevelopment
The results of the consultation will inform guide future development of the buildings, as well as desicions on planning applications affecting the site.
You can view the Draft Planning Brief online at a dedicated section of the Enfield Website and see printed copies from Palmers Green Library. There will also be events including "On Your Doorstep" at Broomfield Park on Friday 5th and Saturday 6th August, an exhibition at Palmers Green Library on Saturday August 20th 10:00-4:00pm and at the Enfield show on the weekend of September 3rd and 4th.

Back in the summer we wrote about the consultation process that Enfield Council were beginning on the future of Southgate Town Hall; it was an issue that was discussed at the last Area Forum Meeting.
With the consultation now complete last week Enfield Labour Council agreed to sell the historic building for housing, with the proceeds being used to refurbish the adjacent Palmers Green Library, despite opposition to the plans from local Conservative MP and Councillors who want the site to be used for a "Free School".
Read the full story on the North London Today newspaper website... and do have a look at this fascinating article on the History of Southgate Town Hall by Ruby Galili on the Palmers Green based "Improving our Place" blog - it has some delightful historic photographs.
