COLOURS OF GREEN STREET
The Project will deliver a number of murals aligned with an ambition to identify feasible sites for murals and work with local artists to develop them, highlighting the history and identity of Green Street to brighten and make the area more attractive to the locals and visitors.
The mural designs will be developed through a community co-design process including multiple in-person workshops and drop-in sessions as well as these online project pages here including the details of the project and providing residents with an opportunity to engage in the discussions online.
The project aims to address recommendations in Newham High Streets Strategy: ‘Colours of Green Street’ and ‘Green Street', ‘Bright Alleyways’.
The final mural designs will be developed through a community co-design process which will involve public consultation on the shortlisted mural proposals. The preferred option for each mural is to be revised to create final mural designs through collaboration between the local creative collaborators and the mural company.
Your opinion on the mural designs is important. Do you have any further ideas or want to comment on the proposed designs, please see the timeline at the bottom of the page for details on how to share your thoughts at each project stage.

Phases
Community Engagement
The mural company will hold workshops with various stakeholder groups such as the wider community including local residents and businesses, local community and art organisations, schools etc. to consider project priorities, identify and review options for suitable locations and co-design the concept design options.
An open open engagement has been held on 1 June 2023 at the onsite gazebo in front of the shops at St. Stephen's Parade. It was a very busy event were we received positive welcome for the proposed Public Realm improvements at St. Parade and Murals along Green Street. Based on the feedback including site ideas from the first event and local priorities, the initial concept design will be developed and the Mural Company will produce a series of concept images to share during the concept options consultation.
Through your feedback, Colours of Green Street (CoGS) will provide paid opportunities for local artist to design and deliver the co- designed murals.
