Enfield Town
When I moved to this area in 1969 Edmonton Green was in the process of losing a vibrant and popular market to be replaced by a purpose-built slum (there have been some improvements since then). But there was always Enfield Town to go to - a busy market and shopping high streets (Church Street and London Road). Now as you travel through The Town, barely half of the shops are still open and seven or more of those are 'charity shops'. I have nothing against them, in fact I love browsing in them, but a proliferation often indicates a situation where other retailers are reluctant to go. What do you think ought to be done to revive Enfield and Edmonton or are High Streets as we know them consigned to history along with milkmen and bread deliveries and police stations?
