Welcome to the Goffs Oak Community Association (GOCA)

Many residents are complaining about the parking on this busy road • Parked cars & vans restrict the width of the road (which can serve to calm traffic) • Vehicles are often driven too fast and with 2 wheels on the pavement. • Dangerous for pedestrians crossing, where they have to look out behind high sided vehicles.

The proposal for up to 21,000 homes in a New Town development is under Borough of Enfield’s jurisdiction. Broxbourne Council and Lewis Cocking MP have written opposing the scheme, highlighting adverse affects on Goffs Oak. We encourage residents to raise their concerns directly. Please contact info@enfieldroadwatch.co.uk for more information.
