Broadwater Farm estate is changing

Part of: Improving Broadwater Farm together

We are working together with Broadwater Farm residents to improve Broadwater Farm estate to make it a better and safer place for the community to live, work and socialise.

We want to shape the future of Broadwater Farm Estate to be a safe, welcoming neighbourhood creating a lively place to be, ensuring quality homes that support the wonderful sense of community and create opportunities for residents to play, work and socialise through improved open spaces and facilities.

We have been working closely with the Broadwater Farm community to develop plans for the largest estate-wide improvement programme in the estate’s history including building 294 new council homes for Broadwater Farm residents.

Tangmere and Northolt are being demolished due to structural problems. We will replace these blocks with brand new council homes for council tenants and will carry out improvements to other blocks on the estate to strengthen them and make sure they all meet modern fire and safety standards.

We have also consulted with the 24 households in the Stapleford north wing as to whether this block should be demolished. 62% of residents in this block were supportive of this proposal and Stapleford north wing will also be demolished in the future.

Together, we will bring about the most wide-reaching improvements to the estate since it was built over 50 years ago.
