Further to Mr T Clifford’s letter (‘Why have meetings been cancelled?’, Opinion, August 20), I would like to thank him for raising this issue.

Indeed Mr Clifford did show a genuine interest in local affairs, raising a number of subjects that were of interest to all.

His contribution is valued and indeed we look forward to seeing him at the next Area Ward Forum for Edmonton Green, Haselbury and Upper Edmonton to be held on September 18 at 7.30pm at the restaurant area in Community House, Edmonton Green.

A further two Area Ward Forums will be held on Thursday, January 22 and Thursday, April 23, 2015 at 7.30pm to 9.30pm.

There will be an update on the issues Mr Clifford and others have raised at previous Area Ward Forums.

The council will continue to consult with the community on local projects.

If Mr Clifford or anyone else wishes to place an item on the agenda, contact me on 020 8351 1385 or email cllr.george.savva@enfield.gov.uk In addition, Edmonton councillors have advice surgeries at the Edmonton Green Library from 10.30am to 12pm, plus other surgeries by arrangement with constituents.

In Haselbury ward, for example, there is an additional surgery every first Friday of the month from 7pm to 8pm at Churchfield School on Latymer Road.
