2024 in review
The development of the Stepney HSA Community-led Partnership
The Partnership are working well and have continued to increase their membership. This ensures that the project continues to be community led. Our getting involved page has ways that you can join the Partnership, and take part in litter picks and other activities.
Action Week - March 2024
‘Action Week’ saw work to improve street edging and gulley cleaning. This was undertaken by the 'Love Your Street' team. They removed graffiti, and placed skips for rubbish throughout the area. They managed to remove 47 tonnes of waste, litter, and unwanted household items.
We also held 7 pop-up sessions to talk to local people about their issues and vision for the area.
Terry Street Footway repairs
March 2024 saw some additional footway works to improve access for pedestrians.
Community Engagement Survey
We undertook a public survey between Monday 20 May and Sunday16 June 2024 to better understand the issues and needs of those that live, work, play and shop in the area. This has helped us to shape the priorities and feed this information into the delivery plan. This includes short, medium, and long-term goals to improve the area.
Partnership approval of the draft vision for the Stepney area
After careful consideration of the community engagement survey results, the Partnership worked closely with a high street expert to complete the draft visioning document and visual representations.
