Enfield's world class development plan

摘要

At a time when local authorities are under increasing pressure to deliver services to tight budgets, Enfield LBC is thinking big and taking control of one of London's largest regeneration schemes to deliver long-term benefits to residents As you read this, the pace of the £6bn Meridian Water project has accelerated and we have appointed Galliford Try as development partner to deliver the first phase of the scheme, providing the first 725 of the 10,000 homes to be provided, along with 6,000 jobs in the Lee Valley Regional Park and bringing community facilities and a new train station to Edmonton. What Enfield is doing differently is that we are leading the development directly and selecting partners on a phase by phase basis. By retaining control of the scheme we will be able to ensure that Meridian Water meets the needs of our residents by constructing high quality, family homes which are affordable, desirable, and which will help to ease the housing crisis. The approach we have taken allows us to speed up delivery of the first new homes and jobs at Meridian Water. We have spent in excess of £100m in assembling land and carrying out preparatory works which puts us in a situation in which we can direct the rewards of sustainable development across the borough.
