Phase 2 Statutory Consultation

Following an extensive engagement with stakeholders over the past few years and the successful implementation of Phase 1 in 2024, Enfield Council is pleased to share the proposals for Phase 2 of the Enfield Town Liveable Neighbourhood project. We invite you to view the draft traffic order TG52/1587 and make a representation or objection through the statutory consultation process.

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

This is an ambitious plan for our Town Centre and the Council. The Council is delivering the project in phases as funding becomes available. Below is a summary of the interventions proposed as part of Phase 2:

• Introducing sections of cycle lanes (that will form part of the cycleway once key phases of the wider project have been implemented)
• Changes within the New River Loop Car Park, including access to the car park to be from Southbury Road only. Access to St Andrew’s Road (past the car park access point) will be for emergency vehicles only. Access for people walking and cycling will continue to be permitted.
• Introducing a dedicated pick-up/drop-off point outside the Enfield Town Station Plaza
• Widening the existing crossing on Church Street west of Burleigh Way (by the western entrance to the shopping centre)
• Widening the existing crossing outside the Market Square
• Improving and relocating the crossings on London Road and Genotin Road
• Improvements to the signalised junctions within the Enfield Town Liveable Neighbourhood Phase 2 area
• Relocating the bus stand from Cecil Road onto Church Street
• Introduction of a 24hr bus lane on a section of Church Street permitting buses, taxis, motorcyclists and cyclists
• Merging bus stops on Cecil Road
• Localised repositioning of the bus stops on London Road and Genotin Road
• Readjusting the position of two disabled bays on Sarnesfield Road to allow better access
• Introducing a 3hr stay limit to the existing disabled bays on Sarnesfield Road
• Changes to waiting and loading within the Enfield Town Liveable Neighbourhood Phase 2 area. This includes introducing a Red Route along the high street, as well as replacing the No Waiting No Loading At Any Time restrictions recently implemented as part of Phase 1
• Introduction of a raised table on The Town, London Road and Cecil Road

In addition, Phase 2 interventions also include new greening, the transformation of Enfield Town Station Plaza, widening footways, resurfacing and footway improvements that have been shared with the community through previous engagement. These features don’t require a Traffic Order and are therefore not part of this statutory consultation.

The design for the Enfield Town Station Plaza is currently being discussed with third parties responsible for this land including Arriva Rail London, Network Rail and Transport for London.

Update on the Market Square

During previous Enfield Town Liveable Neighbourhood engagement stages, ideas have been shared on opportunities to integrate changes to the Market Square as part of the project. The Trust (who owns the Market Square land) remains committed to the Market Square as an integral part of Enfield Town, however this land will not be part of the Liveable Neighbourhood scheme going forward. The Council and the Trust will continue to work together on how these spaces work together in the future.

As the existing car park and market on the Market Square remain, the Council is exploring opportunities to reimagine the public highway outside the Market Square and to align these proposals to the current surroundings in this location. We are excited to share some ideas for how this space can provide some greening, seating and opportunities for art, and we would like to invite you to help shape these proposals.

You can provide feedback on this space in one of the following ways:

• by sharing any ideas on what you would like to see in this location via the survey
• by attending one of the drop-in events that will take place

Please note that suggestions for this space are being considered separately to the statutory consultation.

Launch of new mural ‘To Autumn’

On Thursday 19 June alongside one of the community drop-in sessions, we will be launching a new mural at Enfield Town Library, titled ‘To Autumn’. This artwork has been delivered as part of the Enfield Town Liveable Neighbourhoods project and will be part of the Enfield Town Art Trail. The new mural by artist Agwa is inspired by John Keats’ poem ‘To Autumn’ and celebrates the town centre’s literary heritage and its connection to nature. Join us to launch this new artwork between 12-2pm at Enfield Town Library on Thursday 19 June, while also viewing the proposals and speaking to the project team about Phase 2 of the Enfield Town Liveable Neighbourhood project.
