Introduction
Closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras and CCTV cars are placed across Enfield to help enforce parking and traffic restrictions. They are different from the CCTV cameras we use to catch crime. You can request footage from CCTV cameras.
For details on our approval to use CCTV cameras, refer to our:
- Certification of CCTV attended approved devices (PDF, 566.25 KB)
- Certification of CCTV unattended approved devices (PDF, 54.97 KB)
- Bus lane certification (PDF, 148.13 KB)
You can also refer to London Councils’ CCTV Code of Practice for information on how we operate and manage our devices.
Body-worn cameras
Our civil enforcement officers (CEOs) wear video cameras to help them carry out their responsibilities safely and to provide an open and transparent service.
Body-worn video cameras are openly used by many London local authorities to record the details of parking contraventions and instances of aggressive behaviour towards CEOs.
Body-worn video cameras are used for personal safety reasons and are intended to act as a deterrent against acts of aggression or verbal and physical abuse towards our officers – they are also used while enforcing Blue Badge misuse.
Footage is recorded on a secure encrypted device.
We will not keep footage for longer than a month, unless there is a reason to keep it longer, for example, an ongoing prosecution through the police.
We do not tolerate aggressive or threatening behaviour towards our CEOs and we will use footage from incidents as evidence to prosecute offenders.
We have put up signs to help you identify where there are CCTV cameras.
Some CCTV cameras are located on main roads in the following areas:
- Enfield Town
- Green Lanes
- Fore Street
- Church Street (Edmonton)
- Hertford Road
- Chase Side (Southgate)
- Hertford Road (Enfield Highway)
- Bullsmoor Lane
- Southbury Road
- London Road
- Newbury Avenue
You have a right to be told whether any personal data is held about you. We may deny access to information in certain circumstances where it relates to a criminal investigation.

Bull Lane bus gate
This project helped address a gap in Cycleway 1 that existed at the location.
During the design process, it was revealed that the best option would be for cyclists to mix with the general traffic between the roundabout at Bridport Road and White Hart Lane. However, according to LTN 1/20, the traffic volumes through this area were too high for this.
The bus gate was introduced to reduce traffic volumes to an acceptable level while minimising any impacts to bus and emergency services.

Warning notices were issued to vehicles from 29 August 2023, and penalty charge notices were issued from 5 September 2023.
Signage was erected on 29 August 2023.
