A Brent project, “New Windows on Willesden Green”, was
the winner of the 2012 Regeneration and Renewal award for boosting high street vitality last
month. The scheme has gone from strength to strength
since its launch, includes 13 flourishing pop up shops on Queen's
Parade. Local entrepreneurs have been given empty shops for low rent and turned
them into viable businesses. Shop owners have been joining in with the other
businesses recently creating beautiful window displays to encourage shoppers
back into the area.
The Library Lab in Willesden Green Library is also
still providing residents with a creative space to work from and get business
advice and support and Electric House (Willesden Lane) is now being used to showcase the work of local artists as well as providing
businesses with advice on dressing their shop windows. The recently formed Willesden
Green Team, made up of
local residents and business owners, will continue to build on the project by
bringing vitality to the area for years to come.
