Tower Hamlets Council has approved the redevelopment of the Stifford Community Centre site in Stepney Green, featuring four and five-storey buildings with 31 affordable residential flats and a new community centre. The project is designed to enhance local amenities, providing additional parking and landscaping improvements. While officials see this as a positive development, residents, represented by Joy Tara Bibi, expressed concerns about community engagement and ensuring the new facilities remain accessible. The council assured that the new centre's rents would be set at a community rate, possibly with significant reductions, amid criticisms of insufficient consultation.
"The redevelopment will enhance the Stifford Community Centre, providing affordable housing and improved facilities, crucial for community engagement and quality of life."
"Joy Tara Bibi voiced community concerns regarding consultation and transparency, prioritizing guarantees for accessibility and affordability of the new centre."
