I WONDERED if all residents in the Windmill Hill/Enfield Chase Station area are aware that Enfield Council has decided to close the commuter car park in Gladbeck Way.
A decision was taken by the council on September 11 to close the car park in Gladbeck Way, as it was mainly used by commuters and it was being asked to consider the principle of residential development. In a letter dated November 6, residents were advised of this decision and by a letter dated November 20 views on outline planning permission were requested.
The council seems to think that commuters will transfer to other stations, which will make parking problems elsewhere, or transfer to the town car parks. In reality many will park in roads around the station, making already congested residential roads worse.
We all know that housing is needed but there must be many sites in the borough that are not as well used a facility as this one.
