Enfield Dispatch editor James Cracknell explains how readers can now pick up a copy of their favourite newspaper at 15 newly-installed stands

Enfield Dispatch news stands located across the borough

Ahead of our August issue being published tomorrow (Friday 1st), we have installed 15 new Enfield Dispatch branded stands across the borough, to help us distribute the paper in a more efficient and convenient way.

They look a lot different to our previous all-black stands, as they are coloured brightly in a shade of melon yellow – and should certainly be easy to spot!

You can now get your copy of the paper – usually in the first week or two of each month – from outside the London Overground stations at Enfield Town, Edmonton Green and Turkey Street; outside the National Rail stations of Ponders End, Enfield Lock, Gordon Hill, Enfield Chase, Grange Park and Winchmore Hill; as well as the London Underground stations at Southgate, Arnos Grove and Cockfosters. In addition, we also have a new location in Palmers Green – underneath the clock on The Triangle!

Please bear in mind that, for legal reasons, we have positioned these stands only on council land and in locations where they do not create any kind of obstacle for pedestrians, meaning that they are not always immediately next to the station entrances but sometimes on the pavement nearby. If you have any trouble locating them, please get in touch.

Another key difference with our new stands is that they are made of metal and should be more robust to the elements. However, in poor weather it is possible that the papers may get slightly wet. We will try to avoid distributing the paper on rainy days but, when it is unavoidable, we kindly ask readers to help us by removing any wet papers that they find and taking them to the nearest bin. There should usually be dry papers underneath.

I hope you enjoy picking up a copy of your favourite newspaper from our new stands and locations, and I look forward to hearing from any new readers who may have discovered this paper for the first time as a result!
