Question 29 from Councillor Mahym Bedekova to Councillor Rick Jewell, Cabinet Member for Environment
How will the recent TfL funding allocation to Enfield Council contribute towards the delivery of the Mayor of London's Vision Zero?
Answer
TfL have recently confirmed funding allocations for 2024/25 to help deliver the Mayor's Transport Strategy. Enfield received an allocation of just over £3.8m, the second-highest London borough allocation.
The funding will help make our roads safer and contribute to the Mayor's Vision Zero in several ways, either directly or indirectly.
Firstly, we have an allocation of just under £0.5m for a range of projects targeted at known collision hot-spots, such as in Church Street N9, Fore Street N18 and Hertford Road EN8. Some of this allocation will also be used to develop and deliver a programme of more localised interventions to improve road safety.
Secondly, an allocation of just under £2m will be used to continue our plans to introduce safe walking and cycling facilities across the borough, promote active travel, as well further Quieter Neighbourhoods to reduce road danger in residential areas and more school streets.
Finally, TfL have allocated just over £1m to help implement the first phase of the Enfield Town Liveable Neighbourhoods scheme, which will introduce safer facilities for pedestrians and cyclists, as well as enhance the public realm for everyone.
