A new vision for Edmonton

Enfield Council has secured £11.9 million in government funding to transform Edmonton.

Transforming the area alongside the community

Shaping Edmonton supports ongoing Council investment to realise a new vision for the area and deliver positive outcomes for the community. The Shaping Edmonton projects in Edmonton build upon the successful initiatives already completed in the area through the Town Centre Action Plan programme, spearheaded by the Council and supported by funding from the Mayor of London’s Good Growth Fund. These completed projects include the Angel Yard workspaces, the Living Room Library, and the Clean Air Route and School Street.

Exciting new projects

The programme will deliver a further 11 transformative projects that will improve and green the public realm, create better links for sustainable travel, enhance community, work and cultural space and support community safety. Shaping Edmonton is funded by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.

Delivered by teams from across Enfield Council

The project is being delivered by the Journeys and Places programme in collaboration with teams from across the Council including the Housing and Regeneration team on Joyce and Snell's, Public Health, Property and Community Safety. We will be working closely with local residents, businesses, community groups, Transport for London, the Met Police, and many other partners to design and deliver this comprehensive programme.

Visit the Community Room to learn more and share ideas

The Community Room is now open at the Living Room Library on Fore Street, N18. Drop-in during library opening hours to learn more about Shaping Edmonton and how you can get involved. Events held at the Community Room will be posted on this project page under ‘Key dates’ and in the project updates section.

    Thank you to everyone who joined us on Thursday 27 March at the Shaping Edmonton community launch event. The event was held at the new Community Room in the Living Room Library on Fore Street which will act as a hub for the programme and exciting initiatives happening across Edmonton.

    It was fantastic to see so many people attend and participate in the event, including residents of Edmonton, local businesses, school pupils, families, local artists and other stakeholders. Leader of Enfield Council, Cllr Ergin Erbil, and Cabinet Member for Climate Action and Placemaking, Cllr Sabri Ozaydin, both spoke at the event emphasising the commitment the Council has to improving Edmonton in partnership with the community.

    Curated in partnership with Fore Street for All, the event was a vibrant showcase of local artists and community members alongside the 11 projects that will be delivered across Edmonton over the next two years. Fore Street for All ran an engaging board game about each of the Shaping Edmonton projects while guests enjoyed exhibitions of photography, watercolour artworks, and sound experiences. Guests also participated in workshops on 3D tapestry weaving and knitting while enjoying salsa performances and caricature portrait painting. We would like to say a big thank you to Fore Street for All, along with the artists, exhibitors, workshop hosts and local community members who brought this event to life:

    • Jeanette Hunter who hosted the knitting workshop
    • Sam Cooney who hosted the 3D tapestry weaving workshop
    • Sean Anthony who exhibited his photography titled ‘Working class pride in Upper Edmonton’
    • Bernard Owusu who exhibited his photography titled ‘Creatives of Upper Edmonton’
    • Lucia Scazzocchio who created the sound art exhibition
    • Qwynto who drew caricature portrait drawings
    • Alma Latina who performed salsa dancing
    • Fore Street for All (Yuting, Richard, Jade and Cellina) who hosted the Shaping Edmonton board game
