A collection of targeted interventions around the high street will revitalise the southern gateway into Enfield and diversify the town centre by creating new spaces for culture, play and work.
Our proposals for Angel Edmonton address some of the long-standing priorities that the community has voiced, ensuring that local people and businesses harness the benefits that regeneration brings. The project seeks to strengthen the identity of the town centre through public realm interventions, transforms a disused garage yard and anti-social behaviour hotspot into work and community space, introduces a school street in response to air quality deficiencies and establishes an urban room in the local library. This urban room brings Council services to a shop front on the high street and provides an interactive setting to develop a vision for the future of the high street.
Building capacity among local stakeholders is integral to the project objectives, which is why we are working closely with the people of Edmonton. A play street event saw 400 school children participate in an initiative to promote sustainable travel and to reclaim a street outside their school for wildlife and play. A programme teaming street artists up with established practitioners is designed to upskill local people to deliver large public projects. The Council is working closely with community groups to establish partnerships for the use of the new urban room which shares its premises with the Fore Street library, and a local procurement plan is set to provide opportunities for SMEs located in the neighbourhood.
Reducing embodied carbon is a top priority for Enfield Council. To achieve this, we have designed the project to retain all existing structures on site and to adapt them so they can serve their new purpose.
