Ponders End High Street Improvements

Enfield Council is planning to upgrade a section of the A1010 High Street in Ponders End and improve the experience for all road users along the High Street. This follows previous projects that introduced and improved pedestrian and cycling facilities on the A1010. The project area goes from the High Street outside the Ponders End Park to the area on the High Street outside Tesco, opposite Eagle House Surgery. For more details, please see the project overview map located in the Documents section of the project page.

The project focuses on improving the following aspects:

• Cycle facilities - this section of the High Street creates a gap in cycling facilities between recently completed projects on the A1010 to the north and south of this area. It is therefore proposed to close this gap with cycle facilities in both direction, northbound and southbound.

• Bus stops improvements work along the High Street which already commenced in early August 2021. This work is to upgrade the bus stops to provide more room for pedestrians, bus passengers and cyclists and we will be back soon to complete this work.
  
  
• The condition of the road - the existing road surface is aged and in poor condition so is being renewed.

In order to facilitate the above improvements, some loading and parking changes will be required. We have engaged with business to ensure their loading needs are understood and feedback received during this engagement informed the designs.

A 20mph speed limit is being proposed to improve safety of all road users.
