There is one Single Regeneration Budget Partnership (SRB), which has a direct benefit to the London borough of Enfield. This is the Upper Lea Valley Partnership which is a Round 1 Programme with £39.9 million over seven years. Commencing on 1 April 1995, it is a Capital based investment initiative, which is redeveloping and promoting economic investment in the boroughs of Enfield and Haringey.

During the period between 1 April 1997 and 30 September 2000, £9,831,000 SRB funds have been spent within the London borough of Enfield.

While Edmonton has benefited from this funding, it is not possible to separate out this geographical part of the borough as most projects cover the whole area of the Upper Lea Valley Partnership.
