The Local Environment

Bountagu Priorities:

Environment (Incl. Outdoor Spaces And Community Safety)

Bountagu aims to support improved access to outdoor spaces and experiences, including parks and play areas, and to reduce rubbish and fly tipping.

Partnership Working and Influencing
We are working closely with both local and regional agencies, such as

Enfield Council
Local Police
Transport for London
Greater London
Authority

to maintain and improve our physical environment and safety of the area.

Community Safety

Bountagu will develop more resources to support partnerships, instill stronger confidence in local safety enforcement

Outdoor Spaces: Green Spaces and Cleaner Streets

The Bountagu allotment project enables residents to connect through gardening activities. In addition, Bountagu organizes or supports community planting of trees and flowerbeds and clearing of rubbish and fly tipping. We hope to increase the use of green space and play facilities as the programme continues to grow.

Outdoor Spaces: Community Art

We hope to raise people’s spirits by enhancing our outdoor spaces with commissioned artwork. This will be developed into a programme that can involve not only individuals but also young people, families and groups in designing our shared spaces. Bountagu is exploring and identifying spaces for community art (with the permission of land and building owners). If you would like to be part of this initiative, kindly drop us a note on the Contact Us page. Thank you.
