Devonshire Square: Project Update

Following an experimental traffic order and road closure in 2022, Devonshire Road underwent a temporary redesign, to create a more welcoming, flexible community space. Over the past eighteen months, different communities and local businesses have been testing out the versatility of this space by delivering community markets, outdoor dinning, greening, public art and play areas. This is to explore Devonshire Road's potential to become a permanent community 'square' and open air cultural space.

Thanks to everyone who took part in the statutory consultation on the Experimental Traffic Order TG52/1503. Anyone could make an objection or representation in writing within a period of six months that began on 8 September 2022. Please see Appendix B_Responses to Objections under key documents on the right hand side of this page.

Following a review of the feedback received throughout the six months from residents, businesses, key local partners, and emergency services, a decision has been made to make the Experimental Traffic Order permanent. Please see Traffic management orders (TG52s) | Enfield Council. This will come into force on 28th February 2024.

At the next community market on Saturday 2 March, officers from the Journeys and Places team and members of Hayatsu, the designers working on this space, will share their approach so far. Residents and visitors are invited to contribute their thoughts and ideas, and help shape this exciting new cultural and community space for Palmers Green

Join us at the Devonshire Square Market on Saturday 2 March 2024 from 11am – 2pm and meet the team working with the local community to design ‘Devonshire Square.’
