Driving the delivery of what will become a truly special new neighbourhood of the capital has been the Councils focus. As a council we have used our powers to design and drive the creation of a place with character where beautiful homes and public amenity spaces are enlivened by a rich mix of growing industries in an environment which relates to and welcomes surrounding communities.
By bringing forward public and private investment we have been able to deliver a new station, roads and parks and high quality new housing where local residents have been the major beneficiary.
We now stand ready to work with ambitious and dynamic partners in the community and the private sector, coming together to help us accelerate the delivery of high quality homes, state-of-the-art employment space, jobs and well connected spaces for local people.
Meridian Water is on track to deliver:
An additional 10,000 construction jobs.
A new employment hub, two skills academies and thousands of new high-quality jobs for local people.
10,000 new homes, to help ease London’s housing crisis and provide homes for local people.
A beautiful waterside environment. With the River Lea and Pymmes Brook passing right through the site to create an idyllic canal-side environment for residents, workers and visitors.
Faster rail connections at the new Meridian Water Station. The brand new station has unlocked the area for commuters, taking millions of passengers per year to Stratford, with onward connections to Liverpool Street, City Airport, Heathrow, Stansted and Cambridge.
Super high-speed broadband across the site matched by a pioneering approach to digital infrastructure to maximize the benefits of the sharing economy.
An attractive boulevard through the site linking the railway station in the West to the 10,000-acre Lee Valley Regional Park in the East, passing over the waterways and through a series of public spaces to create one cohesive neighbourhood.
Significant investment into the Cycle Enfield programme, linking with the wider Enfield network and providing supporting footpaths to make a safe and welcoming environment for all.
Attractively designed public open spaces providing lively welcoming spaces for all to enjoy.
A pioneering approach to regeneration with Enfield Council actively leading the entire project to ensure maximum benefits for residents and ratepayers.
Supportive infrastructure and local facilities with major investment into schools, health services, transport infrastructure and community facilities throughout the regeneration programme.
A new Primary school for Enfield, Meridian Angel School.
