How has what people want from places changed in 2020? We commissioned the independent research and trends agency Copa to find out.

The Exploratory is a temporary public space focused around an area of land accessed from Claremont Way, which utilises and integrates parts of what is currently Clarefield Park.

Brent Cross South has been approved. This Visitor Centre and associated landscaping was consulted on during events held in June and July 2019. The designs incorporate an exhibition space and flexible ground floor commercial space. Many thanks to those that came along to share their thoughts on the designs for this last year.

Launched in May 2020 for its second year, the £30,000 Brent Cross South Community Fund focused on supporting local initiatives which are working to respond directly to the impact of COVID-19 in the communities in and around the regeneration area. In total, the panel received 55 applications for funding. The panel were extremely impressed by the level of dedication and creativity the applicants demonstrated to support some of the most vulnerable groups in their communities and improve their environment in the wake of COVID-19. 11 projects located in, and just outside, the wards of Golders Green, Childs Hill and West Hendon, neighbouring the Brent Cross South development have now been offered grants of up to £3,000. The 11 projects selected incorporate a wide range of activities and initiatives, ranging from a scheme set up to provide socially distanced physical activities for children on the West Hendon Estate over the summer holidays, an outdoor nature engagement and wellbeing programme at Clitterhouse Farm, as well as a project set up by the Barnet African Caribbean Association to improve digital inclusion for older people in its community.

This exhibition will present further elements of the Brent Cross South development covering detailed design proposals for: (i) Plot 15, a residential plot located in the row of residential plots facing Claremont Park; and (ii) the Interim Transport Interchange, a transport hub to be located adjacent to the eastern entrance of the new Brent Cross West Thameslink station. We encourage you to take a look, and complete the online feedback form so that your thoughts can be considered as part of the design development. View the full proposals online until Sunday 6 September 2020.
