Heygate consultation underway
Transforming the Heygate exhibition gets underway
The next stage of the Elephant and Castle's regeneration was under way last week with more than 300 people turning out for the first few days of a public exhibition that begins a seven-month consultation process.
Held at the ‘Elephant and Castle Consultation Hub’, a converted shop unit at 182-184 Walworth Road, the first 'interactive exhibition' aims to get feedback on the masterplanning principles for the Heygate and Rodney Road sites from the local community.
Lend Lease has appointed community engagement experts, Soundings to manage the consultation process. Soundings reported that attendees said they loved the location and visibility of the hub, that information was clear and that staff were accessible and provided helpful information. Many attendees expressed an interest in becoming more involved through a number of themed liaison groups to discuss aspects of the masterplan in greater detail.
The exhibition continues this week from Thursday until Saturday. For times, details and more information about the consultation process, click here.
