RE-CREATING LAINDON HIGH STREET

Laindon CentreIntroduction

WELCOME

WHY WE NEED CHANGEKEY IDEAS THAT HAVE SHAPED OUR PROPOSAL

Thank you for coming to this exhibition of our ideas for the new Laindon Centre masterplan. The outline proposals shown today have been shaped by information gathered from earlier presentations and canvassing questionnaires. They are not finished designs. There will be another exhibition in September to explain the developing masterplan.

Swan is proposing a mixed-use scheme to provide a new foodstore, flats and family homes, together with the re-provision and enhancements to existing uses such as business, health and community uses. The regeneration of the centre will lead to a successful integration of the facilities to improve the vitality of the town centre making it an attractive destination where people will want to live, visit and work.

How we have set out the presentation today.
