Rewilded to parkland - now under threat

 

This ancient oak tree stands in the grounds of a business owned by the ENIC Group, an off-shore conglomorate based in the Bahamas that also owns just over 86% Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. It's been said that it was felled to make way for an alternative access road to the corporation's proposed development.

 

The final decision on the future of Whitewebbs has still not been made, but will have to be made by tomorrow, Wednesday July 16th. Until then information of how you could still object can be found on Insta: @guardians.whitewebbs

 

Council-owned municipal golf course was returned to public use and rewilded to parkland. In 2025, Enfield Council approved a scheme to lease over 50% of the parkland to Tottenham Hotspur for them to develop a training facility, a decision that will see the removal of 207 trees.

 

Enfield Council agreed a lease of 25 years for just £2m. A stitch-up between a rotten borough and a football club owned offshore.
