Redbridge Council will host a series of public engagement events at Wanstead Youth Centre to discuss the plans for a new education and youth hub at the Elmcroft Avenue venue.
The centre was closed last October to enable surveying work to begin for what the council describe as essential repairs. “The building dates from the mid-1940s and requires significant structural work to bring it up to a good standard. In April 2022, a survey of the building revealed that essential repairs were estimated to cost £2.4m,” said a council spokesperson.
The meetings will take place on 23 January, 1 February and 8 February from 6pm, with representatives from the council’s Education and Inclusion Team on hand to explain the detail and reasoning behind the proposals for the centre’s future.
All interested parties are welcome to attend.
An online survey has also been launched to gather residents’ views.
