24 THE ROAD NETWORK

The Council working with partners will seek to deliver improvements to the road network to contribute to Enfield’s economic regeneration and development, support businesses, improve safety and environmental quality, reduce congestion, and provide additional capacity where needed. In particular the following key improvements have been identified:

  • Priorities for improvements to the main road network will be:
    • A406 North Circular Road;
    • A1055 Bullsmoor Lane / Mollison Road / Meridian Way;
    • A110 Southbury Road including the one-way system in Enfield Town;
    • A10 Great Cambridge Road; A1010 Hertford Road; and
    • To improve accessibility to the Upper Lee Valley, particularly east-west connections, linking areas on either side of the West Anglia rail line.
  • The Council will also work with the Department for Transport, Transport for London and Network Rail to ensure adequate alternative arrangements are provided in association with any closure of level crossings on the West Anglia Main Line in association with increased rail service frequencies;
  • The Council will identify and safeguard land required for the construction of major transport projects in the relevant area action plan or Site Schedule Document;
  • The Council will encourage sustainable travel choices and reduce growing congestion levels through the promotion of Travel Demand Management Programmes, and will support the use of low carbon vehicles, including electric vehicles. Standards for the provision of off-street parking in new developments and requirements for transport assessments, travel plans, car clubs and car share schemes will be set out in the Development Management Document; and
  • The Council will work with partners to continue to consider the potential merits, benefits and impacts of a Northern Gateway Access Package to improve accessibility and movements within north east Enfield and to support existing and new businesses in the Upper Lee Valley.
