Enfield Town to Ponders End Walking and Cycling Route Update February 2025
Statutory consultation for two sections of the Enfield Town to Ponders End Walking and Cycling Route was undertaken between 13 November and 8 December 2024. The area covers the Eaton Road to Bush Hill Park and Percival Road/Bertram Road/Clive Road sections of the route. We would like to thank everyone who participated in the statutory consultation. The project aims to deliver a safe, accessible east-west walking and cycling route from Enfield Town to Ponders Ends Station with reduced motor traffic and improved road safety in the area. We have now considered the responses received. A summary along with the Council’s response to objections and representations made can be found here: https://letstalk.enfield.gov.uk/3019/widgets/43542/documents/77160.
It has been decided that the Council will proceed with the making of Traffic Order TG52/1571. We anticipate that construction will commence on 24th February. Due to the feedback received during the statutory consultation, the Council has decided not to deliver the proposed bus gate on Cross Road at this time. Traffic monitoring will be undertaken following implementation of the other measures detailed in the traffic order. Should data suggest a bus gate on Cross Road is required the Council will revisit this proposal.
The Council also undertook engagement on a Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) in the area. This was not proposed as part of the traffic order and therefore was not considered as part of the statutory consultation. The CPZ will not be implemented at this time alongside other interventions, but the comments received have been useful to inform the process. Should the CPZ be developed further, it would be subject to its own statutory consultation process. The summary of the responses received on the CPZ can be found here: https://letstalk.enfield.gov.uk/3019/widgets/43542/documents/77161.
