2026 Healthy Streets Scorecard results
Enfield rose from 25th to 24th place this year, with its final Healthy Streets Scorecard score increasing from 2.71 to 2.95 out of 10. This was the second-largest increase in London, and reflects progress across several indicators rather than a single change.
The strongest positive story is protected cycling. Enfield’s cycle track score rose from 8.7% to 9.1%, keeping it one of the strongest Outer London boroughs on this indicator, although part of the increase reflects improved mapping of legacy tracks rather than new construction alone. The borough also added seven School Streets, taking its total to 32 and increasing coverage to 29.9%. Travel for Life participation rose strongly, and sustainable modeshare increased from 50.6% to 53.4%.
However, Enfield still has a long way to go on several of the measures councils control most directly. There was no progress on LTNs. CPZ coverage remains very low at 16.2%, and 20mph coverage, while improving, is still only 30.1%. Bus priority is also limited at 10.0%. The proportion of adults walking regularly remains below 30%, and cycling participation fell to 7.6%. Enfield’s results show a borough moving in the right direction, but still with substantial gaps to close on parking controls, safer speeds and everyday active travel.
The Healthy Streets Scorecard combines scores for ten indicators to create an overall Healthy Streets score for each borough. See the graph below for 2026 results (includes 2019–2025 results for comparison). For more detail visit the London-wide overview of the 2026 results. You can also:

Scorecard (factored score) chart explained
In the chart above, each borough has been given a factored score. Factor scores are composite variables which provide information about a borough’s placement on a scale. Factor scores are given by F=XB, where X is the indicator normalised score for a borough and B is the factor score coefficient (or weight). Each indicator is weighted as 1, or 0.5 if there are two parts to one indicator, for example Modeshare has a weighting of 1, Active travel – walking has a weighting of 0.5 and Active travel – cycling has a weighting of 0.5. The borough’s total factored score is the sum of all indicator factored scores which is then factored to 10 (multiplied by the number of indicators/10) to give a value on the scale between zero and 10. We can then compare boroughs against each other on the scale.
