Enfield Council is debating street cleaning standards and fly-tipping, and implementing its new strategic plan.

In September 2026, Enfield Council debated street cleaning standards and fly-tipping, with opposition councillors criticising a perceived decline in services since May 2026, citing overflowing bins and a reduction in street cleaners. The administration defended its efforts. Also in September 2026, the council rejected a motion, put forward by Councillor Laura Davenport, to recognise nature's rights.

Enfield Council adopted its new four-year strategic plan, 'Delivering for Enfield', in September 2026, outlining seven key outcomes for the borough. In the same month, the Cabinet approved a £7.3 million budget realignment for adult social care and other services, and a new Tenancy Strategy and Policy for council homes.

In September 2026, the Cabinet approved £4.1 million from the National Lottery Heritage Fund for the Broomfield House project and plans for the Enfield Chase Landscape Recovery Scheme, funded by £38 million from DEFRA. The council is also proposing free 30-minute parking across the borough, subject to statutory consultation. No upcoming meetings are listed with this topic on their agenda.
