Give us your views on how we can make Gascoigne Road a happier, healthier and safer place to walk, cycle and live.

The Gascoigne Road project aims to explore how we might create a more harmonious use of a stretch of the road transforming it into a safer and more attractive environment for pedestrians and cyclists. This project is one of several open space and street improvement schemes that are planned in the neighbourhood, following the successes of Phoenix Park.

We are keen to hear from residents, schools, community facilities, businesses and people who use the road, so that we can identify the key concerns and work with local people to understand how we might make it a happier, healthier and safer place to be for all.

The aim of the project is to improve the setting of the educational and cultural buildings along the street through planting and surface improvements including:

  • improving pedestrian and cycle experience for school children, parents,and residents moving through the area
  • better connecting east and west Gascoigne
  • creating new play space and safer routes for children and carers adjacent to school entrances
  • improving air quality adjacent to school entrances, and
  • improving the quality of the public realm and helping to improve perceptions of the area.

We will deliver a programme of engagement throughout March - June. This will include workshops, door knocking, on-site pop-ups and public consultations. Together we will create collaborative concept designs and recommendations to showcase and share possible solutions for the future of Gascoigne Road.

    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!
