An ambitious plan to bring millions of pounds of investment into Enfield and drive major regeneration, world class digital infrastructure and house building schemes has been agreed.
Enfield Council’s Corporate Plan aims to build strong, healthy and vibrant communities and increase the supply of good quality affordable homes over the next four years.
The Leader of Enfield Council, Cllr Nesil Caliskan, said: “By prioritising our objectives, continuing to manage our resources effectively and exploring new and innovative ways of providing services, we will deliver real improvements to the lives and well-being of our residents.
“Over the next four years we will continue with our regeneration programme and seek new ways to accelerate our affordable housing provision and council homes to create vibrant new communities.
“We want to make Enfield a place where people feel safe in their homes and when they are out and about in the borough. We will work with the Mayor of London, the Metropolitan Police and other partners to deliver initiatives that increase feelings of security, tackle crime, and develop community resilience.
“The Council will play its part in supporting young people and help to engage them in positive activities.
“Running through everything the Council is going to do is a commitment to reducing the inequality experienced by people across the borough. We will protect our most vulnerable residents and work to improve the health, education and skill levels to enable everyone to fulfil their potential.”
