The Romford Masterplan, introduced in 2017, outlines a vision for the town centre's development, emphasizing the need for new housing and economic investments. The council's role is to approve proposals aligning with the masterplan, rather than directly manage developments. Key features planned include the revitalization of the River Rom, reimagining the ring road, and enhancing the market square. Council leaders stressed the importance of balancing regional identity with necessary infrastructure like schools and medical facilities to support population growth, alongside a focus on skills training for the youth to meet future business needs.
The Romford Masterplan will guide future developments, focusing on housing, economic growth while preserving the town's character, according to Councillor Graham Williamson.
Cllr Williamson emphasized the plan's aim to balance Romford's identity as a regional hub and protect local history amid new developments.
