Local people have helped to come up with a number of ideas about how the Brixton Central area could change for the better. Now, we need to know what you think.
So far more than 30 people came to the Community Reference Group workshop and we’ve spoken with hundreds of local businesses, residents and shoppers during three pop-up events this week. We were on Brixton Station Road market (Sat), Windrush Square (Tues) and at Brixton Village (Wed) so thanks to everyone who came and shared their views.
What have people been talking about?
- Car parking has come through as a key issue, especially from local businesses.
- There has also been a good debate about the height of buildings, with different views on how high buildings should be and where the tall buildings could be located.
- People have told us affordable homes and the potential for affordable workspace are important and they want a mix of independent shop.
- Lots of people have also talked about the need for public realm improvements.
Join the debate
We’ll be at the fantastic Lambeth Country Show this weekend (stand 27 in the Picnic Area) and then next week we’ll be hosting an exhibition in one of the units underneath the train station on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (see calendar opposite for details).
More details about the proposals, including exhibition boards, a presentation and a questionnaire are on the Brixton Central masterplan page. Please take a look at the ideas so far and let us know what you think. The closing date to feed back is Friday 8 August.
