We congratulate everyone who has played a part in this splendid transformation. The Hall will be open again to the public in July and on the 18th September the Society will be holding a very special celebratory event in the Banqueting Suite at Forty Hall as part of our Heritage Programme for 2012 – see page 7 for full details. We are currently discussing with the Council, among other things, the possible sponsorship of its planned education programme, especially for children, at Forty Hall; the Society recognises the importance of this project and welcomes this link with such an important historic asset in our Borough. agreed with the Council and detailed This would be the second time the plans finalised to develop the House as a Society has become very much involved heritage centre and to seek grant funding Call for assistance with Forty Hall. for building improvements.

  • News Update for London's Museums
    @LondonMusDev E-update for London’s Museums – 09 November 2020 The 4 week long national lockdown began on Thursday 05 November, meaning museums and galleries should now be closed in line with government guidance until at least Wednesday 02 December. It has been announced that some heritage locations can still be visited if they are outside – provided current social distancing rules are observed. You can find further information about that on the Gov.uk website. You can get an overview of all of the new national restrictions on the gov.uk website. We strongly advise that you continue to follow the news and government announcements, as they happen, over the coming days and weeks. Last week the government announced further extensions to the furlough scheme, to March 2021. The government will extend furlough payments at the original 80%, up to a maximum of £2,500 per employee. Employers will only need to cover pension and National Insurance contributions during the month of November, but can top up the remaining 20% of their staff salaries if they wish. To be eligible for this extension, employees must have been on the payroll by 30 October 2020, but they do not need to have been furloughed before that date. Workers who were made redundant in advance of the planned end of the furlough scheme on 31 October can be rehired under the current furlough extension. The relevant section is 2.4 in the policy paper which can be found here. The government has also announced that businesses required to close in England due to local or national restrictions will be eligible for Business Grants of up to £3,000 per month, dependent on their rateable value.

  • 2012 Greenway Report
    MUNICIPAL YEAR 2011/2012 REPORT NO. ACTION TO BE TAKEN UNDER Agenda – Part: 1 KD Num: NA DELEGATED AUTHORITY Subject: Enfield Greenways - Proposed Path through PORTFOLIO DECISION OF: Hilly Fields Park Cabinet Member for Environment REPORT OF: Wards: Chase Director - Environment Contact officer and telephone number: Jonathan Goodson 020 8379 3474 Email: [email protected] 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 This report presents proposals to provide new or upgraded paths in Hilly Fields Park to create an east-west route through the parkland. This would be a shared facility for pedestrians, cyclists and wheelchair users. The drawing in Appendix A shows the route proposed during the consultation exercise. 1.2 The Forty Hall section forms part of a wider route between Hadley Wood and Enfield Island Village. The drawing in Appendix B shows the full route as currently proposed. The section between the A10 and Enfield Island Village is largely complete. 1.3 Minor highway improvements to aid crossing movements of Clay Hill near the Rose & Crown public house are also proposed. 1.4 The cost of implementing this facility is estimated to be £200,000. This is being met by the Corridors, Neighbourhoods and Supporting Measures 2012/13 budget. 2. RECOMMENDATIONS To approve the implementation of the amended route shown in Appendix F for construction in summer 2012. This differs from the former proposals as follows: Route north of the brook to follow the existing path past the football pitch rather than following the path shown through the woodland. All new and widened paths to be constructed in hoggin or similar self-binding gravel surfacing.
