Design proposals for Hayes Town Centre Estate
Information about the initial design proposals for Hayes Town Centre Estate and how these continue to be shaped by residents.
Since summer 2020, we have been working closely with residents living on the estate to understand their views on the redevelopment of Hayes Town Centre Estate.
Residents voted in a ballot to decide the future of the estate in spring 2021, with 79% of residents that voted, voting YES for redevelopment.
We have continued to consult with residents living on the estate and hosted 2 public consultations in July and November. Feedback from these events has helped shape our design proposals.
