Save Chase Farm

Save Chase Farm is a local political party that stood against the closure of Chase Farm Hospital.

Save Chase Farm's leaders are Catherine Wilkinson and Kieron McGregor.[1] They were both elected as local councillors to Enfield Council in May 2006.[2] The party fielded nine candidates in the 2006 local council election. In the May 2010 elections both Wilkinson and McGregor stood again but both lost their seats to the Conservatives.[3] As a political party, they disbanded after the 2010 election but still continue to campaign against the closure, now mainly led by the campaigner, Ivy Beard.[4] They persuaded the council to obtain a Judicial review of the closure.[5] This was unsuccessful but they still campaign against the closure and proposed redevelopment of Chase Farm.
