Harrow Road Place Plan
The Harrow Road District Centre is recognised by Westminster City Council (WCC) as a priority area for change and improvement. Working alongside local residents and stakeholders, the Council have produced the Harrow Road Place Plan to describe the existing issues and priorities, establish overarching objectives for the area and give details on a range of realistic projects that will help deliver immediate and longer-term improvement.
WCC are progressing the 'Good Growth Fund' project
Westminster City Council are working with an architect-led team to develop 3 key projects that are intended to catalyse wider neighbourhood improvements as part of the Harrow Road Place Plan. The 3 sites are:
1. The Maida Hill Market
2. Harrow Road Open Space
3. Westbourne Green Open Space (north section by canal)
These projects are jointly funded by Westminster City Council and the Greater London Authority's Good Growth Fund. They offer the chance to create greener and more inviting public spaces that prioritise community and civic life.
Concept designs have been produced in response to longstanding aspirations of local community groups and networks, plus community ideas and priorities gathered in 2021-2022. Community feedback has been gathered from public events as well as from the site-specific community Working Groups who meet to feedback on the design development.
