Enfield Council recognised for engagement on the Enfield Town project

Enfield Council were awarded the ‘Community Engagement Award’ for the Enfield Town project as part of the Granicus 2022 Digital Public Sector Awards on 15 November 2022. This award is for an organisation’s creative application of digital solutions to inform and engage communities in order to achieve better outcomes.

Since 2019 the Council has delivered an extensive community engagement programme to hear from residents, businesses, students, community groups and other stakeholders about what they want for the future of Enfield Town. This has included opportunities to engage with the Council in-person and online, particularly during 2020 and 2021 whilst working in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The judging panel awarded Enfield Council the Community Engagement Award for the Enfield Town project for our use of digital tools including surveys, the mapping tool and information shared through the Enfield Town project page on the Let’s Talk Enfield website, along with webinars and online co-design workshops. Through using these digital tools, we have heard from thousands of people who are passionate about Enfield Town. Their ideas and feedback have informed the proposed plan for the Town Centre which can be viewed here.

We are pleased to have been recognised for our work to engage the Enfield community in this project so far and look forward to continuing to engage more people as this project progresses.
