Improving Hackbridge

Overview

Following the publication of the 2009 draft Masterplan for Hackbridge and a successful proposal to the Mayor’s Outer London Fund, Sutton Council, environmental charity BioRegional and award winning architects Adams & Sutherland have developed proposals for improving the centre of Hackbridge.

The concepts for the public realm work, which are part of a wider package to help reduce the area’s environmental impact and boost the local economy, will be presented at public consultations in Hackbridge this February. All are being invited to have their say on these proposed plans.

The Heart of Hackbridge project is funded by the Greater London Authority’s Outer London Fund and Sutton Council. It hopes to start the creation of a thriving sustainable centre set in the natural beauty of the Wandle Valley, which will secure local jobs, improve the health of local people and make the streets safer and more pleasant for pedestrians, cyclists and other road users. People will be able to come and discuss the plans with members of the Heart of Hackbridge project team and have their say.

Why your views matter

Having drafted plans on the improvement work, we want to invite the community to examine our proposals, explain the vision behind the project and provide people with an opportunity to ask questions and give their feedback.
