You Said, We Did

Our robust and inclusive public consultation in September engaged thousands of local residents, who either attended an event, provided feedback, or saw a social media advert.

Following this consultation, the project team looked at how the scheme could respond to the comments raised by local residents and stakeholders and incorporate the views of the community where possible. The themes below were the most raised during the public consultation.

Overwhelming support for the refurbishment and reopening of the Railway Hotel 

Acceptance that enabling development is necessary to fund the project and deliver community benefits 

Ensure landscaping is inclusive, varied, and fully accessible

Ensure that the heights of the buildings are well-considered

Consideration of the cumulative impact of key local services and infrastructure 

Preserve Edgware’s local heritage

Need to mitigate antisocial behaviour and improve public safety
