Let’s remember that ‘driver freedom’ comes at a price.
The roar of traffic, strain of navigating busy roads, and sensory overload of car-dominated streets. These daily stressors take a toll on our mental health, often invisibly.
A healthy city shouldn't just help us live longer. It should help us feel better: youtu.be/PBJ2A_b-9Lg

It’s encouraging to see these proposals from our neighbours. A ‘network of safer, segregated routes’ - you could almost call it making a ‘connected borough’ @EnfieldCouncil.
🚴♂️ Proposals for cycle lanes on Green Lanes and St Ann’s Road unveiled.
We want a borough-wide network of safer, segregated routes, helping make active travel easier and tackling road danger.
Residents to help shape plans.

Are you happy with the speed of cars on *your* street? Would you like streets that are safer for your family? If so, check out these new proposals - and take 5 minutes to fill in the quick Enfield official consultation to give your view.
📣 Enfield is set to follow other London boroughs by increasing its number of 20mph roads. 20mph = safer streets, less pollution & smoother traffic flow. We think that many streets deserve these benefits. See our blog - & join the official consultation: betterstreets.co.uk/20-is-pl…

Big changes are coming to Enfield's roads.
@EnfieldCouncil is proposing 20mph speed limits on residential streets & town centres, to make our neighbourhoods safer, cleaner and greener.

I think this must be one of the most beautiful new walking & cycling routes in London.
Delivered by @EnfieldCouncil, funded by @tfl & @NationalHways, this stunning new route follows the 'New River' from Enfield Town over the M25 to Broxbourne.

Here's the @holland_barrett lorry parked on the pavement and blocking the cycle lane again early morning in Palmers Green.
Does @EnfieldCouncil really need to do early morning enforcement because an apparently health based company won't park legally?

This is a concerning development, if it means a Quieter Neighbourhood risks becoming a Less Quiet Neighbourhood. Increasing the convenience of driving usually increases the amount of driving, and undermines incentives for more-sustainable alternatives.
A sunny afternoon in the quiet ‘village square’ of our LTN: two boys playing football, a few more messing around on bikes. #HealthyStreets at their best.💚Wonder how these kids feel about @EnfieldCouncil soon opening up these filters to 1000s of drivers via ANPR? @JourneysPlaces

Imagine @Bad_Enfield and @PaulOBrienArch, amongst others, will be interested in this.
We have been closely monitoring Bush Hill Parade and the issue surrounding parking and driving on the pavement outside the shops. Today BHP officers spotted a vehicle parked on the pavement and issued a Section 59 warning to the driver, if ASB continues the car will be seized.

A known hotspot.
But also part of a parade of shops so not isolated.
Bush Hill Parade "car park". Every single day. @EnfieldCouncil, please can something be done? It's not right.

I was in Enfield on Friday and got a sneak preview of this lovely new route - much of which used to be completely inaccessible to the public. Great to see the new walking & cycling bridge being installed.
Enfield Town to Broxbourne Walking and Cycling Route – Construction Update!
We are delighted to say that the Turkey Brook Bridge for the walking and cycling path over the Turkey Brook has been lifted into place today. The route is planned to be open to the public by mid-May.

Early start for day 3 of #RCPCH25 for all those taking part in the #RideForTheirLives cycle.
Great to see so many out supporting the global campaign to protect children from air pollution and the climate crisis.

This feels like a response to the recent campaign. Promising. Let's see what comes.
Money from parking penalty charge notices helps cover the cost of running the parking service, including officers who patrol Enfield to clamp down on illegal parking. Surplus revenue is reinvested in travel schemes and contributes to concessionary fares, such as the Freedom Pass

Well done, Enfield. The more enforcement, the safer our streets and pavements. We hope the enforcement continues to ramp up.
Dangerous Parking: Carterhatch Lane EN3
This driver was issued a PCN for parking on a footpath.
Dangerous parking puts pedestrians, cyclists, wheelchair users and the visually impaired at risk.
We Are Taking Action
