Helping Willesden Green Regeneration


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.
