WHAT’S HAPPENING IN ENFIELD THIS WEEK?
St. Matthew’s Church Restoration Brings New Hope to Ponders End

This summer, Rev. Jeremy and his wife Dawn moved to Ponders End with a mission to revive St. Matthew’s Church, closed in 2019 and once slated for demolition. Welcomed by the community, they’ve received generous support from local businesses, charities, and volunteers. Food charity Cooking Champions is already operating from the church and will expand its training and food services thanks to ongoing renovations.
St. Matthew’s Primary School is reconnecting with the church, with Rev. Jeremy now on the school’s governing board. The church will soon offer English lessons, addiction support, and will hold its first service on December 15th, just in time for the community to celebrate Christmas together in the restored space.
Enfield Council Seeks Court Powers to Curb Dangerous ‘Car Meets’ on A10

Enfield Council is set to request a court injunction within two weeks to address unauthorized ‘car meets’ along the A10. These gatherings, known for dangerous stunts and excessive noise, have sparked safety concerns for local residents.
The council’s move comes amid advocacy from Gina Sone-Demetrious, whose sister Laura was tragically killed on the A10. Recent discussions with Transport for London (TfL) also explored new road safety measures, including average speed cameras on the A10.
If approved, the injunction would empower the council and police to impose fines and prison sentences on offenders, with officials emphasizing the urgency of preventing further injuries and fatalities.
