IN REPLY TO David G. Orfeur's letter, what has happened is that Broomfield House now has a positive future for the whole community.
Our historic park will no longer be under threat of a pub in the park with all the abuse that comes with it.
The proposed dangerous road scheme will no longer be forced on us and endanger our lives, especially our children's.
What we can look forward to now is a great possibility of a Lottery bid.
There is already £250,000 in the building and maintenance fund.
Scrap the Under One Sun festival and equivalents that cost the council tax payer more than £80,000 per annum, add the money raised from the Broomfield Trust Fund that was specifically raised for Broomfield House and you're almost there.
As for the running costs, the council spends £400,000 per annum (for the last three years) for Forty Hall. Therefore the council has no excuse why it shouldn't maintain Broomfield House.
In your own words, Mr Orfeur, it's "the jewel of the area".
A.LEONIDOU,
Palmers Green.
