Central Somers Town

Overview

Somers Town has a proud history and at the heart of this has always been a strong sense of community. Last year we consulted local people about their priorities for the area. People talked about the need to solve long-term issues with anti-social behaviour and spend money on facilities used by the Somers Town community.

Our Community Investment Programme (CIP) now provides the opportunity to put major investment into facilities for the local people of Somers Town.

Take a look at the consultation document and concept image (links below) then tell us what you think by completing the online survey.

Why your views matter

Earlier this year we consulted on ideas about the redevelopment of Edith Neville Primary School and Children’s Centre (ENPS&CC).
As a result of your feedback we then looked at the wider Somers Town area to consider how to:

• provide excellent new facilities for Plot 10 community play facility and St Aloysius nursery;
• improve the open spaces;
• create additional community facilities, and
• build more social housing.

We are now coming back to you with this ‘Central Somers Town’ proposal at a very early stage, to discuss how we think we can achieve many of the things you told us were important. This is not the final detailed design for Central Somers Town but your views will help us to make sure we get this proposal right for you and your local community.

Take a look at the two links below 'Central Somers Town consultation document' and 'Central Somers Town design concept image' then complete the online survey
