Clare Lindop obituary

My friend Clare Lindop, who has died of a rare lung cancer aged 45, was a wise, fun and caring person who made a lasting contribution to our local community in north London.

After moving to Cockfosters, near Enfield, in 2013, Clare was appalled that walking her children to school involved dodging cars on the busy four-lane Bramley Road. With Naomi, the eldest of the three, she campaigned for a pedestrian crossing - using hand-drawn leaflets, social media and old fashioned lobbying - with the result that Enfield borough council installed a crossing in summer 2018.
