Our vision
We’re calling for safe, healthy, people-friendly streets in Enfield
- Safe streets – with safe space to walk, cycle and cross on busy roads and quiet, low-traffic streets in neighbourhoods
- Healthy streets – where active travel is the natural choice for short journeys and air is clean enough for children to breathe
- People-friendly streets – with lots of plants and seating, and where motor traffic doesn’t dominate – especially on high streets
