COLOURS OF MANOR PARK

The Project aims to deliver ‘creative’ building facade enhancement of the LBN-owned housing block situated at 1 Station Road / 681-691 Romford Road, London, E12 5AD at the junction of Romford Road. Investing in the appearance of the buildings at this junction was voted for by residents during the development of the Newham High Streets Programme. The project aims to continue engaging with the stakeholders to develop and finalise the design concept. The creative façade enhancement alongside the new murals aims to bring a sense of identity to Manor Park and make the area feel more welcoming. The project has two parts: 

  • Part 1 involves works to enhance the look and feel of the façade of 1 Station Road, above Manor Park Library. This aims to create a more welcoming entrance to Manor Park by improving the facade of the corner building. 
  • Part 2 involves the installation of one or more murals in the area surrounding 1 Station Road to highlight Manor Park’s local history and celebrate its identity. 

Over the course of spring/summer 2023, we'll be working with you to determine the preferred improvement types. The works are expected to finish by June 2024 and will address recommendations in Newham High Streets Report ‘Manor Park Library’ and ‘Colours of Manor Park’. The concept design proposal for the project will be developed through a community co-design process and is likely to include: 

  • Artistic enhancements to the building façade (e.g. murals)
  • Cleaning and repairs of tiled sections of the facade 

• Maintenance and repainting of balconies

• Cleaning and painting of windows, sills, and frames 

Your opinion on the types of enhancements and mural designs is important. Do you have any further ideas or want to comment on the proposed enhancement types above, please see the timeline at the bottom of the page for details on how to share your thoughts at each project stage.

Read through the Phases below for some more information. This page will be updated as the project progresses.

Community Co-design workshops

April 1, 2023 - June 30, 2023

The design team 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 and co-design the concept design options

Join us at our first in-person engagement events on Tuesday 25 and Wednesday 26 April, to contribute and tell us what type of enhancements and murals you want to see prioritised for the library façade and the proposed building around the library. Based on the ideas and local priorities, the initial concept design will be developed and the Design Team will produce a series of concept images to share during the concept options consultation.
