The regeneration plans sound promising:


http://www.elephantandcastle.org.uk/regenerationprogramme/


"Key features of the Elephant and Castle framework for development include:


?demolition of the shopping centre and Heygate Estate

?rehousing of Heygate Estate residents into high quality social housing in the Elephant and Castle area

?removal of the congested road system and rerouting of traffic out of the core area

?creation of a new pedestrian-friendly town centre

?development of 6, 600 new homes

?creation of 75,000m2 of modern retail and leisure facilities

?design of an improved transport interchange

?creation of two new parks

?addition of two extra schools, including a city academy

?creation of over 4,000 new jobs as a result of these changes

?adoption of a range of innovative measures to minimise energy consumption

?quality design at the heart of the plans"


The rerouting of traffic alone should make an enormous difference.

    • Agreed. Just stating as a historic fact they tried to stiffle reviews.
    • A quick assessment on having a barter scheme amongst the community. An exchange of goods and services may be really helpful during these difficult times.    I wonder if it’s something that someone would be willing to set up separately and link to the forum? Or perhaps  an additional aspect of the forum itself if it was easy to include? I don’t have IT knowledge to set this up unfortunate, but I do have skills that I could offer. From past experience, it would probably work best as a direct exchange rather than coupon credit.    I may be flaunting the rules by posting on this twice, admin please feel free to delete one if this is the case.      
    • Echoed. Thank you for stepping up.   whilst I’m here, I was thinking it would be a good idea to have a barter scheme amongst the community. an exchange of goods and services may be really helpful during these difficult times.    wonder if it’s something that someone would be willing to set up separately and link to the forum? Or perhaps  an additional aspect of the forum itself if it was easy to include? I’ll put it out on the forum to evaluate interest.
