SHARE YOUR VIEWS ON DRAFT DESIGNS FOR STRAND ALDWYCH 

The council is asking residents, students, businesses, venues, organisations and community groups around Strand Aldwych for their feedback on proposals to improve the area. 
 
Strand Aldwych is home to an impressive number of cultural, educational and creative institutions, businesses as well as nearby residential neighbourhoods. However, the opportunities to create a world-class destination face significant challenges: poor public realm, traffic congestion, poor air quality, security and a lack of commercial space. The council has worked with local organisations to develop some fresh ideas for the area, which will enable the district to fulfil its potential as a creative and learning quarter for London. 

The proposals will:
• remove the gyratory and improve safety
• create high quality public spaces
• improve links for walking and cycling
• address poor air quality
• support culture, education and innovation
• support the area’s economy

Our website -
www.strandaldwych.org – provides more info about the proposals and how they were developed.

We are keen to hear from all residents, businesses, venues, organisations and community groups with a stake in its future.
