Havering Council meets to discuss and review the Romford Masterplan, focusing on future growth and public feedback.
The plan aims to improve Romford and make the River Rom more visible. It also focuses on Romford Market, and includes plans to redevelop the Brewery site. This would create a better Romford station entrance.
The masterplan took years to create, shaped by public input. They held consultations back in 2019, and again in 2024. The meeting tomorrow covers public feedback.
People shared concerns last year, talking about parking, culture, and town safety. Amendments address these concerns now. The town wants to be inclusive and safe for everyone, including women and girls particularly.
Havering’s cabinet should adopt the plan soon, likely approving it on March 12. This follows the discussions from this week, and plan’s approval is the next step forward.
