OPDC invites local community to drop-in events to help shape the future of Old Oak West
Tuesday 6 June 2023
The Mayor of London’s development corporation for Old Oak and Park Royal, OPDC is inviting the local community to two drop-in events to help shape the future of Old Oak West.
In June 2022, OPDC adopted its Local Plan, setting out a vision for the area for the next 20 years. Central to this will be a welcoming and lively district called Old Oak West, with affordable homes, jobs and local facilities, with the huge new HS2 interchange, Old Oak Common station at its heart.
Old Oak West is made up of land surrounding the new station, Willesden Junction and North Acton. The regeneration will focus on former industrial and brownfield sites, most of which are in public sector ownership.
In recent months, OPDC has been engaging with the local community, holding events including pop-ups, codesign workshops called PlaceLabs, youth workshops and meetings with community organisations.
These events have provided an opportunity for OPDC to listen to local people’s views and work with diverse communities in Old Oak and Park Royal to jointly create a new urban district that truly reflects local needs and aspirations.
To ensure that everyone in the local community has the opportunity to have a say, OPDC is holding two further community drop-in events. Everyone is invited to join to find out more about the progress of Old Oak West, key local priorities shared at the PlaceLabs and to provide their views.
- Tuesday 20 June: drop-in any time between 1–4pm
The Lab - Oaklands Community Centre, Oaklands Rise, NW10 6FJ
- Wednesday 21 June: drop-in any time between 5–8pm
The Lab - Oaklands Community Centre, Oaklands Rise, NW10 6FJ
Feedback from the drop-ins and previous engagement events will directly feed into OPDC’s emerging planning guidance for Old Oak West and the corporation will be publishing an engagement report in the summer that summarises emerging themes and ideas.
We’d like to thank everyone who has met and engaged with us so far, it has been great to meet so many members of the local community and have the opportunity to discuss the future of Old Oak West.
With the new High Speed 2 station at Old Oak Common arriving in the next decade we have the opportunity to create an exciting, inclusive and welcoming new urban district and we want everyone to share their insights and ideas to help shape the upcoming regeneration, so it truly reflects local needs. We will be taking on board your
views and aspirations for the area and look forward to working in partnership with local people to create a joint vision for Old Oak West.
Members of the community can find out more about the events and engagement to date on OPDC’s online consultation platform, consult.opdc.london.gov.uk or by calling or emailing the engagement team on [email protected] / 0207 983 5732.
