Since summer 2020, we have been working closely with residents living on the estate to understand their views on the redevelopment of Avondale Drive Estate. 

Residents voted in a ballot to decide the future of the estate in spring 2021, with 94% of residents that voted, voting YES for redevelopment. 

We have continued to consult with residents living on the estate and hosted two public consultations in July and November. Feedback from these events has helped shape our design proposals.
