Green Street Workspace
The project
A Workspace provision will be located in a vacant unit on Green Street, directly facing Queen's Square, and delivered as part of the Green Street Community Hub. It will provide opportunities for businesses and residents from Newham to establish themselves in the heart of Green Street and will help to provide more job and training opportunities.
Information about operating model for the workspace will be advertised in due course.
Unfortunately, our initial ambition for a meanwhile standalone workspace on Rochester Avenue could not be delivered. Following a competitive tender process and return of bids, it has been assessed that the delivery of proposed workspace on the elevated car park is not financially viable. Therefore, the project has been re-scoped to instead deliver a smaller workspace provision as part of the Community Hub works.
Phases
Engagement
In January 2020, the Council ran seven workshops where we asked local community, Queens Market Traders and Green Street businesses to share thoughts and ideas to shape the final Good Growth Fund application. View the results from these workshops here.
These workshops helped to identify the top three priorities for each of the four projects which were included in the final Good Growth Fund application. Some ideas were captured during this engagement that are not the types of projects that this funding can deliver.
