A happier, healthier, Gascoigne Road is coming!

After an extensive co-design process ran by Be First and Periscope with local residents, schools, community facilities, businesses, and people who use Gascoigne Road, we are pleased to announce that Gascoigne Road will soon be a happier, healthier, and safer place for all to enjoy. We’d like to thank everyone who participated in the co-design process and shared their ideas. The improvements will include:

• new play areas and safer routes for children and carers with better air quality around the schools
• an improved public realm with better connecting east and west Gascoigne
• a better pedestrian and cycling experience for schoolchildren, parents and residents moving through the area.

We intend to submit a planning application in January and will allow just over two weeks for an online final consultation from the 28th of November to the 16th of December.

We would also like to invite residents and anyone else who is interested to attend our public consultation event on December 5, 2022, at Studio 3 Arts' newly renovated facilities at Galleon Community Centre, Boundary Rd, Barking IG11 7JR.

The event will run from 16:00 to 20:00 and staff from Be First and Periscope will be there to show you the final designs.

Please see the link to the event here.

We look forward to seeing you there!
