The Hackbridge Initiative
Hackbridge Masterplan
Sutton Council have engaged Tibbalds Planning and Urban Design to design a masterplan of Hackbridge. The master plan will provide guidance on how the major sites and a district shopping centre could be developed and include a strategy for open spaces and streets, especially how to improve connections for pedestrians and cyclists.
Tibbalds have taken the ideas from Hackbridge Week and other consultations and workshops and are turning them into a spatial plan. There will be widespread consultation on the masterplan this autumn and invitations will be sent to everyone registered on this site with a Hackbridge postcode. If you haven't already registered you can do so here.
Hackbridge One Planet Living Home Visits
Hackbridge residents have started cutting their carbon and energy bills following over 100 free sustainability visits from BioRegional in March.
All of the householders received a tailored report outlining their footprint and ideas to reduce their carbon and costs. The visits also found that Hackbridge is a friendly place to live and on average residents know 8 of their neighbours!
If you are interesting in finding out more about the visits or the findings you can download a PDF or contact Anna.
Hackbridge Week
We aim to make Hackbridge the UK's first Sustainable Suburb. Hackbridge Week which ran from Monday 25 February 2008 to Saturday 1st March 2008 was an opportunity for local residents, businesses and other stakeholders to contribute ideas and give feedback on the plans. There will be many more opportunities to contribute, so don't worry if you were not able to attend.
