An update on the regeneration and improvement works for Farnham and Hilldene
Estate
We're keeping neighbouring residents living within the redevelopment up to date on the phases of the regeneration project and the additional repair work that is taking place to support residents while they are living on the estate
Background
The Harold Hill Town Centre Masterplan is split into three sites and phases which include:
Phase One - The Family Welcome Centre and Medical Centre, already underway
Phase Two - Chippenham Road, estimated to start on site in Winter 2024
Phase Three - Farnham and Hilldene Estate, estimated to start first sub phase in 2025
All dates are indicative and subject to change
Progress
Phase One - Demolition is almost complete at the Family Welcome Centre site.
Phase Two - The latest public consultation for Chippenham Road runs until 8th August The recent drop in sessions were overwhelmingly positive and supportive of the proposals for the redevelopment
Please visit www havering gov uk/haroldhilltowncentre to take part
Phase Three - This estate will have a number of sub phases to allow us to minimise the impact on local businesses and residents In the meantime, it's important to us that the estate is maintained for the benefit of everyone living, working and visiting there Please see more information in the next section below
Upcoming works at Farnham and Hilldene Estate
Although the estate is part of the regeneration programme, we are working hard to improve the area and make it more pleasant for our residents until the estate is redeveloped
We are carrying out improvement works over the coming months to improve some of the fundamental parts of the buildings including security to communal areas, drainage both external and internal and overall decoration including lighting within the communal spaces. We have also increased cleaning and staff presence in the area, too.
From the project we hope to see a reduction in antisocial behaviour and also for residents and visitors to experience a nicer, safer environment in and around their homes which they can be proud of. This will be carried out through our contractor BTS.
Through our main repairs contractor Mears, we will also be carrying out property MOTs which allow Mears to identify any repair work needed within your home. This work has started on Chippenham Road.
The photos opposite show an example of recent work completed to remove graffiti from the ground floor of Farnham Road Block 21-63
