New developments for Willesden?
Hoping some news will do good things for Willesden! Firstly, will a developer be interested in rebuilding the library centre at no cost to the council in return for some housing and/or retail land. The centre is expensive to maintain and has empty space which could be better used to provide a council "hub" where residents in the south of the borough could access more services. The centre as it is an expensive space to maintain. We should know sometime in November how finding an interested developer has progressed. Secondly, Willesden has the half a million to revitalise the town centre from the London Mayor's High Road project fund. An additional bid is being prepared. More details of how these funds will be spent should be known at the end of October. Will be updating the news as soon as known.
