We recently shared the latest update on Enfield Council’s “Investing in Enfield” plan, which outlines substantial progress across the borough’s five strategic priorities: Clean & Green places; Strong, Healthy & Safe communities; Thriving Children & Young People; More & Better Homes; and an Economy that works for everyone. Key highlights: A 19% reduction in crime in Upper Edmonton & Edmonton Green under the Clear, Hold, Build programme. A 27% reduction in council carbon emissions, creation of 40 ha new woodland, and 26 School Streets introduced to improve safety and air quality. Delivery of 560 new council homes, securing £5 million to make 400+ homes more energy efficient, and achieving a top ‘C1’ rating from the Regulator of Social Housing. Looking ahead we’re committed to planting a further 30 hectares of woodland, opening a new mental-health and wellbeing hub, investing in cycling and walking routes, and supporting community projects through the Meridian Water Community Chest.
