Enfield Town Liveable Neighbourhoods – Phase 1 Statutory Consultation Feb 2024

Following extensive engagement with residents, businesses, young people, community groups and other stakeholders over the past few years, Enfield Council is pleased to share the proposals for Phase 1 of the Enfield Town Liveable Neighbourhood project, which you can find on the right-hand side of this website in the Document Library. We invite you to view the draft traffic order and make a representation or objection through the statutory consultation process.

The Enfield Town Liveable Neighbourhoods project proposes improved walking and cycling provisions as well as public transport passenger facilities to reduce car use and promote sustainable transport options. It also has a focus on improving public realm spaces that provide places to stop and rest and promote a bustling and vibrant town centre. This project is part-funded by Transport for London.

This is an ambitious plan for our Town Centre and the Council. The Council will look to deliver the project in phases as funding becomes available. Below is a summary of the interventions proposed as part of Phase 1:

• Closure of the eastern end of Little Park Gardens at its junction with Church Street to create a new public square
• Changes to how traffic will operate on Little Park Gardens to facilitate the road closure
• Changes to how traffic operates at the Church Street / Cecil Road / Little Park Gardens junction (straight ahead from Cecil Road will now be permitted for general traffic)
• New signalised crossing at the junction of Church Street / Sarnesfield Road
• Relocation of the crossing point on Cecil Road and upgrading it to being a signalised toucan crossing
• Implementation of diagonal path linking the two new crossing points on Church Street / Sarnesfield Road junction and on Cecil Road
• Changes to waiting and loading along Sarnesfield Road
• Changes to waiting and loading on Church Street between Sarnesfield Road and Little Park Gardens
• Introduction of a motorcycle parking on Burleigh Way
• Changes to waiting and loading within the Phase 1 project area
