A series of gardens could help to protect nearly 400 properties from flooding and boost walking and cycling in Enfield.

Enfield Council is planning to create a series of ‘rain gardens’ in Haselbury that would link up Firs Farm and Pymmes Park wetlands.

The gardens help to store water and release it slowly into the surrounding area in a way that mimics the natural environment.

Bexley Gardens, Westerham Avenue and Park Lane are among the streets set to receive rain gardens, which can also increase biodiversity and improve air quality.

While the construction of a flood storage area at Firs Farm Wetlands has reduced the risk of flooding for more than 100 nearby properties, almost 400 homes and businesses could still be at risk.

The council says schemes such as rain gardens are the best way to tackle this problem, as climate change continues to make flooding more likely.

More than 3,000 residents were asked for their views on the proposals in a consultation launched in September – but the council only received 18 responses.

The replies were “mostly positive”, but four raised concerns over the scheme’s potential impact.

London boroughs are to join forces to provide extra properties for families threatened with homelessness.

It is hoped more than 35,000 London households will be helped by the £38m Capital Letters government programme over the next three years.

Communities Secretary James Brokenshire said the "radical" plan could make a "real difference" to vulnerable people in the capital.

But housing charity Shelter said more social homes had to be built.

A total of 3,103 rough sleepers were found in the capital between July and September 2018, the highest figure since records began.

Thousands of charging points could be installed across Haringey over the next decade to meet the growing demand for electric vehicles.

Haringey Council says the borough will need 2,000 charging points by 2025 as more and more people make the switch to environmentally friendly modes of transport.

The borough saw 225 electric vehicle registrations in 2017 – up from 94 in 2014 – and measures such as the Inner London Ultra-Low Emission Zone are expected to boost uptake further.

The roll-out of electric charging points is one of several proposals contained in the council’s Draft Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle Action Plan, which went out to public consultation this month (December 2018).

While some people are expected to install their own charging points for electric vehicles, most Londoners keep their cars on residential streets.

This means the council needs to step in to provide more on-street charging points.

It says this will come at “minimal cost” to the council, as the companies providing the charging points will cover the costs and pay rent to the local authority.

Haringey Council aims to ensure all of its own vehicles are electric by 2030 and to encourage bus and taxi firms to make the switch to electric by 2040.
