Enfield Council are in the process of delivering a series of measures in the Connaught Gardens area as part of the Quieter Neighbourhood project.
The aim of this scheme is to address shared concerns between both residents and the Council on motor traffic speeds, motor traffic volumes, and cut-through traffic in the area. A set of interventions is being delivered to address the concerns raised by residents for many years. The scheme will help address the issue on an area-wide basis and bring about the following benefits:
Reduction in the volume of motor traffic that is cutting through residential streets instead of using other primary roads to reach their destinations.
Reduction in the speeds that people drive at on the residential streets and in front of the schools within the area.
Quieter residential areas with reduced traffic levels, whilst keeping open the maximum possible access points for residents and emergency services.
A safer environment which will enable people to walk and cycle from their front door and encourage them to incorporate active travel as part of their journeys.
Reduction in emissions from motor vehicles within the residential area and therefore an improvement air quality.
Long-term improvements to public health and reduced pressure on the NHS.
The Connaught Gardens Quieter Neighbourhood scheme is being delivered in two phases, as outlined below:
Stage of Delivery
Proposals
Funding Arrangements
Timeframe
Feedback Opportunities
Phase 1
One-way system on Windsor Road, Osborne Road, and short sections of Lightcliffe Road and New River Crescent.
Council funded
Completed in January 2021.
Delivered using Experimental Traffic Orders (ETOs), with views from the community collected during a trial period.
Phase 2
The remaining Quieter Neighbourhood measures as shown in the scheme map (note engagement with emergency services continues).
Initial funding secured from TfL to enable design work to progress. Awaiting further funding from Department for Transport / Transport for London to enable future implementation.
Design in progress.
Implementation timescale presently unknown and subject to funding.
Early engagement with residents on the designs has taken place. The comments are being analysed to help finalise the future scheme that is going to be delivered. A formal 6-month consultation will follow as part of the trial to inform future of the scheme.

Residents in the Connaught Gardens and Surrounding Streets Quieter Neighbourhood area have raised concerns with Enfield Council over traffic issues for many years. The trial of Connaught Gardens Quieter Neighbourhood – Phase 1 has been introduced as a response to these concerns.
Phase 1 of the trial has included the introduction of a one-way system on Windsor Road, Osborne Road and short sections of Lightcliffe Road and New River Crescent. It also included the introduction of 20 mph speed limits on Osborne Road, Windsor Road, Park Avenue, Lightcliffe Road, New River Crescent, and Kingsley Road.
The project has been implemented as a trial using Experimental Traffic Orders (ETO) which require a period of consultation with local residents, businesses and other stakeholders during the trial period.
There will be a range of assessments that will need to be balanced when judging the overall success of the trial. Assessments will include:
Residents’ views on how the benefits of the project compare against the disbenefits
Data on the volume of motor vehicle movements in the area
Data on the speed of motor vehicles in the area
Impacts on the primary roads surrounding the area
Bus journey time considerations through discussion with Transport for London
Outcomes of ongoing dialogue with the Emergency Services.
Now that the community have had the opportunity to experience the trial working in practice, we would like to invite you to share your feedback. The responses will be analysed and summarised in the formal report that will inform any decision made.
Residents in the Connaught Gardens & Surrounding Streets Quieter Neighbourhood Area have raised concerns with Enfield Council over traffic issues in the area for many years. The Council are now presenting a plan for the area for feedback from residents, businesses and visitors. We invite you to share your feedback on the plan that can be viewed here via the survey below. The survey will close at midnight on Sunday 13 December 2020.
We will review all feedback received which will inform the final design for the area.
Once you submit the survey you will be sent a copy of your responses.
