Vision and Objectives for Regeneration

The Council's vision for Hackney in 2020 is that it should be:

• A thriving, healthy and inclusive community which feels safe and confident
• A place with diverse housing ownership and good quality affordable homes
• A place with high quality education and a good place to work and do business
• A good place to get around and enjoy oneself

The ultimate objectives of the long-term regeneration programme for the Woodberry Down estates:

1. Improve the supply of good homes and improve the built environment as well as improving housing choices. Improve life chances and access to services.

2. Harness the energy, spirit and enthusiasm of local people to develop a sustainable community, which is confident, safe and secure.

3. Become a good place to visit and a place where people want to stay.

4. Provide new and refurbished housing, schools, and health and other facilities to modern long-term sustainable standards, in such way that it will make a substantial contribution in terms of improved health, education, self-esteem and other benefits.

5. Change the current uniform tenure and ownership pattern by providing new and refurbished housing with a range of different tenures, levels of affordability and ownership.

6. Unlock the value of the land for the benefit of those who live on the estates.
