The Thameside Centre, Brentford: Community Planning Evening

The local community was invited to the Thameside Centre, Brentford Community Planning Evening on Wednesday 1 December 2010. The aim of the evening was to bring together people with an interest in The Thameside Centre to discuss issues and ideas for the future. At the event participants had the chance to find out more about the scheme and meet the design team to discuss local and site specific issues and possible solutions.

Following the Community Planning Evening, the project team will analyse and summarise the outcomes of the event and prepare an illustrated Vision for the future, which will be reported back to the community at 7.30pm on Monday 10th January 2011 at the Musical Museum.

You can view the details of the event in the PDF located on the right-hand side.

Background

St George has started construction of the new ‘Kew Bridge’ development at the former Scottish Widows site and The Thameside Centre provides an opportunity to continue the regeneration of this important riverside location. The aim will be to design a high quality, mixed-use scheme with improved access to the river, which is well integrated into the surrounding area. St George has appointed John Thompson & Partners as architects for the scheme and we will facilitate the community planning process.
