North-East London is undergoing some of the most rapid and
fundamental changes in recent years, with the arrival of the
Olympics, Crossrail and changes in working practices and urban
lifestyles.
Barkingside’s past success as a town centre does not guarantee
its future prosperity. The Barkingside Town Centre Improvement Plan
provides a clear vision for improvement in the town to encourage an
attractive, functional and vibrant town centre for the coming
years.
The vision includes:
- Improvements to the physical environment
of Barkingside including the quality of the public realm and
accessibility of the town centre
- Potential to change the use or redevelop
key sites and buildings to attract better uses to the town centre,
increase footfall, strengthen urban form and create a sense of
place
- A general programme of initiatives and
events that supports local community and business groups and helps
raise Barkingside’s profile image and sense of identity
The Plan was produced by Studio REAL on behalf of
Redbridge Council.
