14.1 Enfield Wash Local Centre
The Council will develop a comprehensive street design scheme which - through public realm enhancement - helps to enhance local distinctiveness, support local centre activity and contribute to an improved sense of security whilst still providing for traffic movements. This scheme should include:
- comprehensive de-cluttering and tidy-up of the street by rationalising signage, road markings and street furniture;
- improving the southern approach to Enfi eld Wash through: (i) public realm improvements that reorganise car parking to create a more pedestrian-friendly environment; and (ii) improvements to weak frontages - for example, encouraging shopfronts to be brought forward to the overall building line so they are more visible;
- considering whether landscape or built form could help strengthen the presence of the leisure centre and its contribution to the street scene;
- the central section is working well: encouraging shopfront improvements and undertaking low key public realm improvements to enhance the area will help support the retail;
- creating a strong, positive gateway at Turkey Brook that makes the most of this important local feature;
- making provision for cyclists on Hertford Road as part of a wider scheme to achieve good north-south movement; and
- integrating public realm improvements with the east-west pedestrian and cycle links along Turkey Street, Longfi eld Avenue, Ordnance Road and Albany Road identifi ed in Chapter 4 of this AAP.
