The investment is:

  • improving a range of community facilities
  • providing new housing

Ros Dunn, Independent Chair of The South Kilburn Trust said:

This exciting project significantly improves the space available for the community and doubles the amount of affordable workspace. This will enable us, and the many committed stakeholders, to deliver social value for the community and support local enterprise in a way never before envisaged.

We look forward to the imminent commencement of the redevelopment, marking an exciting milestone for everyone involved, and we look forward to the future with much optimism and excitement.

Nursery and wellbeing centre upgrades to boost community

Granville Plus Nursery School and Brent Family Wellbeing Centre are two community facilities to benefit from funding support.

Improvements include:

  • an increase in space for users
  • adult training facilities

  • new sensory rooms

  • activity rooms

Eighteen new homes will also be created for existing council tenants. The houses will sit alongside the new facilities.

Councillor Shama Tatler, Lead Member for Regeneration & Planning at Brent Council, said:

The Levelling Up funding secured has meant that we can now unlock a further £8.5 million of investment and progress with the scheme, providing much needed social housing for local families and high-quality community spaces while creating more opportunities for local people, including up to 60 new jobs in the community.
