Edmonton Green Quieter Neighbourhood

Enfield Council is working to make the borough safer, healthier and more vibrant, and enable more people to walk, wheel, cycle and access public transport. As part of the Journeys and Places programme, the Council is looking to deliver a Quieter Neighbourhood (QN) in the Edmonton Green area within the streets bounded by Bounces Road, the A1010, the A406 and Montagu Road.
What is a Quieter Neighbourhood?
Over the last few years, Enfield Council has taken action to re-design many of our streets, introducing new pedestrian crossings, segregated cycle lanes, School Streets and cycle parking alongside other initiatives such as cycle training and free bike repairs. Quieter Neighbourhoods form part of this comprehensive approach that the Council is taking to reduce the speeds and volume of motor vehicles in the area and create an attractive and safe environment for people to travel by active and sustainable modes, such as walking and cycling. The long-term benefits we hope to see include improvements in people’s health, less congestion and safer roads, and improved air quality.
The Quieter Neighbourhood initiative considers the introduction of features such as:
- Modal filters that allow people walking and cycling through, as well as emergency services. All streets are accessible by car but some routes may be subject to change;
- one-way streets;
- School Streets and;
- cycle parking.
Why is a Quieter Neighbourhood being proposed in Edmonton Green?
Edmonton Green has been chosen as one of the next QN areas because the area has poor air quality compared with other areas in Enfield, poor health and deprivation indicators that could be improved with active travel, two schools within the area, amenities in the area that could be accessed using active travel, high numbers of collisions for vehicles, pedestrians and people on bikes, and a high population density which would benefit from the improvements.

These are part of the Edmonton Green Quieter Neighbourhood project, which aims to make the area healthier, greener, and safer for everyone.
Please share your views by 11:59pm on Sunday 5 October 2025.
In September 2023, we spoke with residents, businesses, and other stakeholder to help shape the early designs. We then asked for feedback on the concept designs in January and February 2024. This feedback has informed the proposals now being taken forward.
The proposals feature the following improvements as detailed in draft Traffic Order TG52/1590 (for Quieter Neighbourhood proposals) and TG52/1596 (for School Street proposals).
- A School Street outside Fleecefield and Brettenham Primary Schools, creating a protected zone in front of schools at pick-up and drop-off times
- On-carriageway cycleways with wayfinding signs and markings to help with cyclist navigation
- Footway parking restrictions for improved safety and access for people walking
- Double-yellow lines to improve visibility and safety at junctions
- One-way streets to help manage traffic and reduce conflicts on local streets
- Expansion of existing 20mph speed limits to enhance road safety, reduce collisions, and create a more comfortable environment for walking and cycling
- Expansion of existing Controlled Parking Zones (CPZs) to manage parking demand, improve safety, and prioritise space for residents, businesses, and active travel
Have your say
We invite residents, businesses, and any other interested stakeholders to take part in the statutory consultation on these proposals.
You can make a representation or objection in writing stating the grounds on which it is being made and quoting the reference TG52/1590 (or TG52/1596 if your comment is about the School Street specifically).
Submit your view by 11.59pm on Sunday 5 October 2025 in one of the following ways:
- online via the survey on this webpage
- by email to journeysandplaces@enfield.gov.uk, or
- posted in writing to the Journeys and Places team, Enfield Council, Silver Street, Enfield, EN1 3XA.
We invite you to view the proposed plan and get involved in one or more of the following activities and events:
Webinar held on Microsoft Teams at https://tinyurl.com/egqn2025webinar
Hear from the project team about the proposed designs and have the opportunity to ask questions.

We look forward to hearing from you over the coming weeks.

Phase 2 Engagement Report and Traffic Analysis
Share Phase 2 Engagement Report and Traffic Analysis on Facebook Share Phase 2 Engagement Report and Traffic Analysis on Twitter Share Phase 2 Engagement Report and Traffic Analysis on Linkedin Email Phase 2 Engagement Report and Traffic Analysis linkFrom 17 January to 11 February 2024 we heard from residents, businesses, community groups, and others in the Edmonton Green community on the proposed plan for the Quieter Neighbourhood in the area. This followed the engagement with the community held in September and October 2023 that informed the recently presented concept design.
Thank you to everyone who took part in the engagement. In total, 128 people provided their feedback on the proposal, and 49 residents spoke with us across two drop-in events. Many more engaged in other ways such as workshops, webinars, or via correspondence. From this feedback, we heard particular interest on speed limits and vehicle speeds, parking in the area, the arrangement of one-way streets, School Streets, and the timings of the proposed modal filters. The Engagement Findings Summary Report provides an overview of the engagement approach, who participated, and findings from the comments received. The full report can be found here.
In October 2023 we undertook traffic surveys to understand the volumes and traffic routes in and around the area. This data has been summarised and can be found here. As we progress the designs, we will continue to carry out further work on traffic analysis. This includes working with TfL to understand potential impacts of the scheme on aspects such as bus journey times in the area.
In light of the feedback received from the community and the results of the traffic survey, we will be making revisions to the design that we proposed earlier this year. This includes:
Revising the layout and directions of proposed one-way roads in the area to better align with community feedback.
The addition of proposed double yellow lines at intersections to improve visibility at junctions. We will review the intersections within the area to identify priority locations where these would be best placed.
Proceeding with timed modal filters, as opposed to 24/7.
We are continuing with further exploration of a School Street, bus gates, footway parking restrictions, traffic calming measures, on-carriageway cycleways, Controlled Parking Zones, and a 20mph zone across the area.
We are currently working on updating the proposals. Once these are complete, we will move forward with our next phase of engagement which will be Statutory Consultation. We will write to residents at that time to inform the community of the opportunity to provide a representation or objection to the draft Traffic Order. Updates will also be published on this page.

Update to the Proposed Interventions Map
Share Update to the Proposed Interventions Map on Facebook Share Update to the Proposed Interventions Map on Twitter Share Update to the Proposed Interventions Map on Linkedin Email Update to the Proposed Interventions Map linkOn 17 January 2024 we commenced the second phase of community engagement on the proposed Edmonton Green Quieter Neighbourhood. We delivered letters to residents and businesses in the area which included a map of the proposed interventions. Thank you to those who are already engaging with us on the proposals. In response to feedback received, we have made some minor updates to the map to display the proposed interventions more clearly. The updated map can be found in the ‘Maps & Drawings’ folder in the document section of this webpage.
The updates include:
- Moved the location of the modal filter on Monmouth Road from the east side of Oxford Road to the west side of Oxford Road as it was previously shown incorrectly. Included a shape to better show the location of the School Street camera enforced timed closures.
- Added an existing modal filter that is located on Brookside Road.
- Shifted the location of the bus gate on Plevna road slightly south. This change was made to make it clear the bus gate would be located south of the crossing near Salmon Brook.
- Changed the label of the Cycle Routes in the key to clarify these are on-carriageway cycle routes. This means that cyclists will mix with general traffic, with signage and road markings proposed to help with route finding.
- Changed the label of the parking changes to read ‘remove or relocate footway parking’, to better demonstrate the proposed changes.
- Updated the graphic for the proposed traffic calming measures to better demonstrate where these would be considered.
