THE Mayor of Enfield helped to switch the Christmas lights out outside shops in Ponders End at a community festival this weekend.

Residents and traders laid on entertainment, art workshops, street theatre and live music for the festival, in High Street, on Saturday, December 11.

Councillor Jayne Buckland, Mayor of Enfield, was the guest of honour and switched on the festive lights outside Ponders End Library, as residents joined in the fun and took in some late night shopping.
