On Thursday, May 7 2026 your vote could help to change Enfield’s future.

Who we are

Enfield RoadWatch is a local action group made up of residents around the borough who have been lobbying for the protection of the borough’s green spaces for over 12 years. We are non-party political and inclusive. With our partner organisations, we have provided evidence that building on our countryside will not solve London’s housing crisis and that there are better and more realistic solutions. We can show that the new town proposal is not based on evidence and will not produce the benefits that are promised.
