Residents are encouraged to provide feedback on the draft designs for a new education and youth hub on the site of the former Wanstead Youth Centre, which closed in October 2023 for repairs.
The £6.5m project will see the facility remodelled, with the addition of classrooms, a café, playrooms and office space. Under the plans, the centre’s rear gymnasium will be converted into a dining hall and multipurpose space, which has sparked concern among campaigners.
The hub is expected to open in September 2025.
