It’s a design thing It’s a design thing

With almost 30 projects shortlisted from across the borough, the winners were announced at a special ceremony in The Drum, Wembley in May.

The judging panel was chaired by Councillor Shama Tatler, Cabinet Member for Regeneration, Planning and Growth and included a mix of industry experts and local community representatives.

Hundreds of local people voted for their favourite overall project in The People’s Choice Award. Councillor Shama Tatler said: “Residents deserve great places to live and work, and high-quality design can help us achieve this.

“From the pioneering Grand Union development that has completely transformed a derelict site into a thriving canal-side neighbourhood. To double award winners, the much-loved Lexi Cinema, who carefully and considerately extended their venue to create a second cinema screen with accessible space for wheelchair users.

“The winning schemes all demonstrate how high-quality, innovative design can have a positive impact on the lives of our communities.

“A massive congratulations to the winners and highly commended projects.

“Thank you all for playing an important part in helping to make Brent the brilliant place it is.”
