Thank you to those who joined us online on Monday evening for our second online design discussion as part of this next online exhibition about the future of Fellowship Square.

The design team presented what we've heard so far, the draft community priorities for Fellowship Square, alongside the developed design ideas and we had some excellent discussions in breakout groups about whether the designs reflect the priorities well.

Thank you to those who have participated in events to date to help shape the future of Fellowship Square, the area around Waltham Forest Town Hall, sharing your priorities and commenting on the emerging designs.

In this next stage you can see the developed designs for the Fellowship Square masterplan alongside your priorities and have your say. We want to know whether we’ve heard your priorities correctly and whether you think these are reflected in the developed designs.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed and participated so far in this stage of engagement about the future of the area around the Town Hall, Fellowship Square.

We've had 186 people take part either by sharing feedback online or attending our online design workshop earlier this month and we are delighted that over 700 people have visited the website and read the design information provided.

There is still time to register for the Online Design Discussion, this Wednesday 11th November at 5pm. Meet the design team online to see the emerging design, hear about the design principles and share your comments and feedback.

Thank you to everyone who has shared their feedback and priorities online so far. 

Although we are not able to be on the ground and speaking to people outside the Town Hall and in your communities at this time, it is important for us to share the emerging design and principles with you and gather your feedback. 

As part of this first phase of public engagement we will be hosting an online design discussion on Wednesday 11th November at 5pm . This will be an opportunity for you to meet the design team, hear about the emerging design, share your priorities for the four design principles and ask questions. 

Waltham Forest Council and Countryside want to work with local people to transform the area around the Town Hall into a new neighbourhood celebrating culture and heritage, creating new affordable homes as well as exceptional green spaces for everyone to enjoy.

Now, more than ever we appreciate the importance of our outdoor spaces and your priorities and ideas can help shape the future of this new neighbourhood at the heart of the borough.

Responding to feedback received and respecting the history and heritage, the area around Waltham Forest Town Hall will now be called ‘Fellowship Square’ and capture the spirit and essence of what people want this place to become.

The first stage of our public engagement will involve finding out your priorities about the open spaces, access and movement and what activities you would like to see happening in and around Fellowship Square to shape it into your future civic space.
