The councils that run Enfield
One council runs every main service here.
Every main council service: schools, social care, roads, bins, planning, housing and libraries.
Website ↗Transport for London, policing (through the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime), the London Fire Brigade and London-wide planning.
Mayor: Sadiq Khan (Labour), elected May 2024
Website ↗Who to ask
From GOV.UK’s “Understand how your council works”: here one council runs every main service.
All of Enfield is unparished: there is no parish or town council, so the council runs local matters itself and no parish precept is added to the bill.
Councils from ONS lookups (wards and councils May 2026, parishes 2025), names and websites from GOV.UK’s local council finder; parish councils from MHCLG’s 2026–27 list of precepting parishes.
