News on Convent Way

There has been overwhelming support for the regeneration plans for Convent Way with 80% voting YES. There was a 85.5% turnout of residents, which is one of the largest turnout in a residents ballot.

The journey became more challenging along the way as the council was not able to engage and consult with resident in the way that we normally would. Over the consultation, we were able to speak directly with over 90% of residents and offer a variety of engagement options to enable them to safely engage.

This is a clear message of support and we will continue to work in partnership with all residents, so together we can transform the neighbourhood and residents' lives through the delivery of high-quality, well-designed housing and improved public space.

Next steps

We will continue to work on the designs for the new neighbourhood, develop the planning application for the whole estate and phase 1a, which will be the first new homes to be built. We expect to submit a planning application into the council by March 2022.

During the summer, the Estate Regeneration Team will hold workshops, events (online and in person) as well as regular newsletters. We will also be consulting the retail shops on Convent Way as well as the wider community as part of this stage. The Estate Regeneration Team will continue to hold the Thursday surgeries at the Community Centre between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m.
