A report by Transport for London reveals Enfield as the least physically active borough in London, with only 22% of adults achieving the recommended daily exercise. This downturn highlights a growing concern over community health, particularly in child obesity and life expectancy rates. Advocacy groups express disappointment over the car-dominant culture hindering active travel. Proposed changes include reducing speed limits and enhancing public transport and cycling infrastructure to boost engagement in walking and cycling, addressing the borough's need for improved activity levels.
"It is extremely disappointing to see that Enfield is bottom of the table for those engaging with active travel. The culture in Enfield is far too car dominant and we are not moving quickly enough."
"Just over half of journeys in Enfield are made by public transport, bike or on foot – well short of the 80% target set by mayor Sadiq Khan for 2041."
