Highfield Councillor Tackles Local Issues

Four months after being elected to represent Highfield ward in Enfield, Conservative councillor Peter Charalambous has detailed his work on local issues. He stated that his priorities include tackling speeding, fly-tipping, and illegal houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) to improve neighbourhood safety and environmental quality. Councillor Charalambous was elected in May, turning a traditionally Labour seat into a Conservative win, as reported by the Enfield Dispatch.

Addressing Resident Concerns

Councillor Charalambous stated that his office has been actively addressing issues that he believes have been overlooked. This includes measures to make streets safer for families by targeting speeding and antisocial behaviour. A significant crackdown on fly-tipping has also been initiated. Furthermore, he is taking action against illegal HMOs that he believes threaten neighbourhood integrity. The councillor also mentioned addressing overgrown tree roots that have damaged public pavements and private property.

Future Commitments

Looking ahead, Councillor Charalambous has committed to reintroducing weekly bin collections and introducing 30 minutes of free parking. He described these as vital services that residents deserve to maintain clean streets. He has lived in Enfield for over 55 years and has a background in the travel industry, managing logistics and budgets for over 36 years. He has also been involved in community work for 25 years, including as chairman of a local Greek school and as a trustee for the Friends of Firs Farm.

Councillor Charalambous stated his belief that local government should serve the residents who fund it. He expressed his commitment to delivering strong, transparent, and dedicated representation for Highfield ward.
