Hilly Fields Community

15 October 2023

‘I was working in Hilly Fields late early in the morning light. When my eyes beheld an eerie sight For some dirty monsters fcame out from their vans and car and began to dump their rubbish near and far. And suddenly to my surprise. 15 Earth Angels dressed for Halloween appeared and did an hour long dash. They did the litter picking mash, it was a Lavender Hill graveyard smash They did the mash, they caught all 15 bags of rubbish in a flash They did the mash, but they didn’t take cash!’

With The Gregory gang hosting our super world famous The Friends of Hilly Fields band stand summer event next Sunday, it was time for 30 EN2 Earth Angels to done their pickers and get out and clean up the local area. A phenomenal 27 full bags of rubbish, estate agent boards and a microwave were collected. A large number of cupboards were tidied and reported to the council too! It may be a never ending task but because of these amazing humans Hilly Fields and the area between Browning Road, Lancaster Road and Brigadier Hill looks much more inviting today. If everyone picked up just one piece of litter a day just imagine how beautiful Mother Earth would be 🙏🏻❤️

As ever a huge thank you for the 30+ people, Archie, Gracie and Floyd the dogs who came to our litter pickers today to tidy Hilly Fields and the surrounding streets. Have to say that we struggled to find anyway. 20 bags were collected but these were half full. However, if we all inspire one more person not to dump and pick up one piece of litter each day then we have succeeded. If you would like help setting up a group please do ask as I’ll happily help anyone 🙏🏻

EN2 Dad’s were honoured today for all that they do to educate their children on how to be good people, how to be kind to Enfield’s green spaces (take note Enfield Council), and how to create civic pride and community spirit. They all reviewed hero stickers on this extra special Father’s Day litter picker of Hilly Foelds and the surrounding streets. 20 people collected 20 NO2 bottles, fencing, kids toys, cabinets and nearly 30 bags of rubbish. Phenomenal work on a day that Private Eye published a piece on the disgraceful behaviour of Enfield Council and THFC. If you would like to join the best community group in EN2 (ok I am biased), we would love meet you. Just get in touch 🙏🏻❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
