Resident Permit Trial Update - 22 August 2025

Enfield Council will soon be launching a 12-month trial that will allow eligible residents and businesses within the previously specified zone to apply for a free ‘BOWES Resident’ virtual permit. This permit will enable one nominated vehicle per household or business to travel through the camera-enforced filters at Maidstone Road and Warwick Road without receiving a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN). The scheme will run alongside the existing Blue Badge exemptions already in place.

At present, the system is undergoing final testing before the trial can commence. Once testing is complete, we will confirm the trial launch date and provide full details on how eligible residents can apply for a ‘BOWES Resident’ virtual permit, as well as what documents will be required.

Permit applications will open shortly ahead of the trial commencement, with further information to be shared on this page and in a letter to all properties within the eligible area.

Please continue to check this project page for upcoming updates on the trial launch date and permit application details.
