Hampton North Uplift Wave 1 Community Consultation

Overview

Background

Uplift is Richmond Council's programme to rejuvenate the Hampton North, Whitton, Barnes, Mortlake and Ham areas of the borough. Key actions of each Uplift programme are based on the results of the All in One survey and Village Planning sessions. Funding for projects is provided by the Council but other funding has, and will be sourced, through other organisations and funding providers. The aim of the Uplift programme is to create positive results for each of the Uplift areas, resulting in thriving areas for businesses and the community and where residents can be proud to live.

Our proposals

The Hampton North Uplift programme will be delivered in two Waves.

Wave 1 - six concept proposals have been developed and are currently at different stages of development. The first two projects are existing projects that we are proposing to extend. Your views will inform the delivery of these projects. The remaining four projects are at an earlier stage of development and we would like your initial views on them. These concepts will then be developed in more detail and you will have further opportunities to have your say on them before the end of the year.

Wave 2 - is scheduled to start in autumn 2012 and involves the drawing up of a planning brief and master plan that will create a vibrant area for residents and businesses - Hampton Square - in the heart of the district centre. It is hoped that such investment will encourage new services and facilities to open in the square. You will also have an opportunity to have your say on Wave 2 of the programme in autumn 2012.

Why your views matter

The local authority wishes to consult with local people and other interested groups on proposals for Wave 1 of the delivery of the Hampton North Uplift programme.
