Britannia
Britannia bi-monthly update session
We are keen to keep you updated on the progress being made on the Britannia site. From this spring, the Britannia project team will be holding regular online update sessions bi-monthly and will be keeping the community informed with e-newsletters in the alternating months. Please follow the link below to register for these meetings.
The Britannia project – together with improvements at Shoreditch Park and the transformation of the Colville Estate – represents the biggest public sector investment in the area in a generation.
Once complete, the project will have delivered a state-of-the-art news leisure centre, a brand new 1,100 pupil secondary school, and 81 new council homes for social rent and homes for shared ownership – on and around the site of the original leisure centre.
The Britannia project is being delivered directly by the council through its in-house, not for profit development approach, with some homes sold outright to help pay for it in the absence of sufficient government funding for social housing and community facilities.
