"Barnet residents will be able to have their say on plans to revamp Cricklewood Town Centre, thanks to a £1.6m grant from the Mayor of London’s Outer London Fund.
"The plans to make-over the town centre area include planting trees, installing new street furniture and repairing carriageways, paving and footways. As well as many more improvements it is hoped that the end result will see Cricklewood Town Centre transformed into a more cohesive and vibrant place to visit and shop.
"The detailed plans and designs will be available for residents to view at the Crown Moran Hotel, 142-152 Cricklewood Broadway, London NW2 3ED from 12pm to 8pm on Thursday 5 September and 12pm to 6pm on Saturday 7 September at the Silk Road Festival.
"Residents will also have a chance to make their thoughts known on plans to transform Cricklewood Playground. The park will have better connections to the town centre, trees will be planted, a new play area will be installed as well as a multi-use games area and a communal garden space.
"The council will host an activity day at Cricklewood Playground on Saturday 21st September, from 10.00am to 1.00pm. At this event council officers will be showing plans of the park, answering questions and residents will be asked to fill in questionnaires to register their views.
"Barnet Council’s Cabinet Member for Environment, Councillor Dean Cohen, said: “These are challenging times for all of the country’s high streets. This is an opportunity to bring together residents, business owners and all three local authorities with responsibility for the area to start on the road to transforming the town centre into a vibrant place for all. I look forward to hearing residents views on these plans.”
"The town centre improvements consultation starts on 4th September and ends on 20th September. The consultation for Cricklewood Pocket Park will also start on the 4th September and will run until the 16th October 2013. Residents can register their views at one of the public events or alternatively they can visit http://engage.barnet.gov.uk/.
