Enfield Council has been urged to ensure the future of Woodcroft Wildspace at a council meeting on Wednesday 12 November 2025.

The council discussed a motion from Councillor Lee Chamberlain, directing council officers to work to ensure the continued future of the space in its current form. The motion also undertakes to honour where possible the commitments made to the space by numerous cabinet members and senior councillors.

The motion recognises the benefit provided by Woodcroft Wildspace, including the space it provides for the Little Sparks play and bereavement charity. It also recognises the investment in time and effort put into the space by the volunteers, providing the borough with a unique wildspace.

The Enfield Council meeting also included discussion of a recommendation from the local auditor, the adoption of the Fairer Enfield Policy 2026-30, and several other motions. The Fairer Enfield Policy 2026-30 aims to promote equality, diversity and inclusion in the borough. The policy outlines six equality objectives:

  • Make sure equality and inclusion are central to how the borough grows and develops
  • Work with health partners to identify and address inequalities, focusing on prevention
  • Take action to reduce serious youth violence in Enfield
  • Enhance the diversity of the council's workforce so it reflects the community at all levels
  • Provide services that are easy to access and respond to people's needs, tackling inequality and exclusion
  • Make equality, diversity and inclusion part of everyday practice to better reflect the community's needs
