The Stepney area of Beverley Road has been confirmed by the government as one of 10 national pilots for High Street Accelerator status.
Taking part in this innovative pilot provides the opportunity for the community to identify a clear vision for this area of Beverley Road and to tackle -
- long-standing vacancy issues
- anti-social behaviour
- graffiti
and to address concerns that affect our local residents and overall improve the high street.
Supported by revenue funding available from the government up until March 2025, each accelerator partnership can also apply for additional funding to improve green spaces around the high street.
Funding has been made available to make this area a better place to live, work and shop. This work could include -
- projects to improve safety
- better signage, lighting and street design
- seating and picnic areas
- community events
- cleaning graffiti and chewing gum
- colourful murals
- new trees and plants
- tidying up parks
