Enfield Council is working hard to regenerate Southgate, reviving the town centre and making it much better for locals. We want to have a closer look at this today because it could make the area more attractive to investors. Then, if you invest and need block management in Enfield, you can rely on us.

New greenery

The local authority has already done some work to make the town centre more attractive. Their Journey and Places team has been working to improve greenery and public spaces. Impressively, they have created a new pocket park, two parklets, and three rain gardens. These will be fantastic for locals.

A masterplan

The next step for Enfield Council is to invite residents to share their views on what they want to see for the area. They’re asking specifically for views that focus on the public realm and transport. A public consultation period is open now, running until December 15th.

What the Council wants is to ensure that they create a masterplan for regenerating Southgate town centre that will maximise the benefits for locals. So, they will consider all ideas. They will publish the findings from the consultation early in 2025.

Ultimately, the council will begin developing and publish the masterplan later next year. This will be essential reading for investors, giving an insight into the changes to expect for the area. It could attract a wave of interest. If so, we’re happy to help with services like block management in Enfield.

Plans

The Council also already has a number of ideas in mind for regenerating the area. For example, they are aware of the fact that the town suffers due to heavy car usage. It leads to problems with parking and congestion. This is a major factor to resolve.

Next, the local authority wants to make sure Southgate is better for pedestrians. Most crucially, they want to make crossing safer near the Tube station and bus station. The former is an important local asset; it’s a Grade II* building and offers services on the Piccadilly Line.

In addition, the council is aware of the low occupancy level of retail units in the town centre. They want to address this to make the area more vibrant. They said they will even consider meanwhile use for spaces, raising the potential for the creation of more community amenities.

One area with a lot of potential is Ashfield Parade. The Council believes it could become a cultural spot, with a public square, market, or play street.

Finally, they said Chase Side could be a key part of the regeneration. It is one of the major roads in the area. Usefully, it has wide pavements. As a result, it could become more vibrant with things like seating, play areas, and art.
