What is being proposed?
Enfield Council is proposing a scheme to introduce car parking charges at the Forty Hall and Estate car park. This will help to improve traffic management, enhance environmental sustainability, and improve visitor experience. The income from parking fees may support the Council budgets, infrastructure requirements, heritage preservation and enhancing the overall visitor experience.
We are currently investigating these changes and hope to implement them in Autumn 2025.
Why is this needed?
Forty Hall, a historic and cultural landmark in Enfield, currently offers free parking to visitors. This arrangement has led to several challenges, including escalating maintenance costs, inefficient use of parking spaces, and environmental impacts from high vehicle dependency. The key objectives of this initiative are:
Traffic Management: Encourage more efficient use of parking spaces and reduce congestion during peak times.
Environmental Sustainability: Discourage excessive car use to support the reduction of vehicle emissions and promote greener travel options, such as active travel, public transport, and carpooling, in alignment with Enfield Council’s climate goals.
Visitor Experience: Ensure parking availability for genuine visitors and reinvest in estate improvements to enhance overall satisfaction.
Proposed Fees & Timings
The following parking fees are proposed to apply Monday to Sunday, commencing at 9am until 8pm:
Time
Fee
0 - 30 mins
£0
Up to 1 hour
£2
1 - 2 hours
£3
