Enfield Council is consulting on a policy to offer free 30-minute parking sessions to boost local economic activity.

Enfield Council's Cabinet agreed in September 2026 to proceed with a statutory consultation on a proposed policy to introduce a free 30-minute parking session per vehicle per day across the borough. This initiative aims to enhance the attractiveness and competitiveness of Enfield's high streets and boost local economic activity and town centre footfall.

The proposed changes apply to parking tariffs for stays under one hour. Authority has been delegated to the Executive Director of Environment & Communities, in consultation with the Cabinet Member, to manage the specific timeline for this consultation, which is not yet detailed.
