Investing in Enfield’s digital future
Enfield Council believes that reliable digital connectivity, both fixed broadband and mobile, is essential for achieving its goal of creating an economy that works for everyone.
We are committed to creating the right conditions for investment that will improve digital infrastructure and connectivity across the borough. This will help make sure that residents, businesses and communities can benefit from digital services and new technologies.
To achieve this, we are actively working with telecommunications companies to share our vision, encourage investment, and understand and address any barriers they face when investing in Enfield.
We want to build on the progress we have already made:
- Increasing full fibre broadband coverage from 32.34% in July 2024 to 69.47% in July 2026.
- Improving collaboration across Council departments to address digital connectivity challenges and opportunities.
- Introducing a non-exclusive MDU Wayleave agreement to help social housing residents access full fibre broadband.
- Including digital connectivity in planning policies and development processes, including participation in a planning pre-application pilot.
- Creating a Digital Champion role to make it easier for telecommunications providers to work with the Council.
- Working with our Local London partners to continue lobbying central government to address gaps in digital infrastructure.
- Committing to engage with mobile network operators by the end of 2026 to develop and deliver a Small Cell Strategy.
