Hainault Community Hub
In April 2023, the Council paused the delivery of the Gants Hill and Hainault Hub schemes, in light of rising construction costs, challenging housing market conditions and the difficult economic climate. The Council will revisit these decisions as prevailing economic conditions improve, and with them the Council's own financial position.
---------
Hainault Community Hub will serve residents from across Hainault and Fairlop, and will be delivered in partnership between Redbridge Council and Hainault Forest Community Association, which has served local residents for over 70 years. It will be based on Manford Way, renewing HFCA's facilities as well as investing in a state-of-the-art library, enforcement hub, activities for children and families, and a range of council services.
Plans for Hainault Community Hub will be developed through a process of co-design with local residents, which will also identify priorities for the Hub and wider area.

Thank you for watching the public webinar explaining how Architects in Practice, Redbridge Council, Mutual Gain and Hainault Forest Community Association have worked with a wide range of residents to develop a set of principle which will shape future plans for the Hainault Hub scheme. If you weren't able to watch the webinar, please note that you can still respond to the survey questions without viewing it.
The comments, questions and feedback received through this survey will be incorporated in the updated set of design principles, final report and website, depending on when they are received and whether they relate directly to the principles themselves, or are wider points which might be better addressed through our Frequently Asked Questions section.

Thank you for considering an application to support Hainault Hub Design Group as a voluntary advisor.
The Hainault Hub Design Group is a local body of residents who have expressed an interest in working closely with the London Borough of Redbridge on the delivery of a local community hub scheme that will serve the residents of Hainault and Fairlop. This group will be independently selected by the Sortition Foundation.
The purpose of the Design Group is to work with Architects in Practice, who were appointed through a joint panel of residents and council officers, alongside Redbridge Council and Hainault Forest Community Association, to develop a set of 'design principles' which will shape the development of future plans for the Hainault Hub scheme. Between October 2022 and January 2023, the group will focus on the Hainault Hub site as a whole, through two in-person workshops to be held on Sunday 30th October from 2-4.30pm and Monday 16th January from 6-8pm, and five online workshops to be held from 6-8pm on Monday 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th November, and Monday 12th December.
Individuals from the business, charity, education and faith sectors, as well as representatives from political parties are being asked to support the Design Group in an advisory capacity, by:
- Attending and participating in online and in-person workshops in a supportive capacity (individuals will be randomly allocated to groups)
- Highlighting areas or considerations which could strengthen and improve the workshops and the process
- Engaging with and representing the views of those in the sector you are representing (if applicable)
We aim to have between 5 and 10 individuals acting in an advisory capacity, the selection of whom will be led by Mutual Gain, who have been working on the Community Hubs programme since 2019. In the event that we have more applicants than places, MutualGain will randomly select representatives from the above categories to ensure a balanced group of voluntary advisors.
If you are interested in securing a place please complete the short application form below and return to: info@mutualgain.org by midnight on Wednesday 19th October. Further information on the wider project can be seen here.

We are looking to appoint up to three residents to work with the London Borough of Redbridge to appoint a firm to produce a Stage 1 report for the Hainault Hub scheme. A Stage 1 report assesses the feasibility of the site for different designs, and develops a set of 'design principles' to shape future plans. It does not develop plans for the site, which follows at a future stage. Before applying please ensure that you have read the guidance here.
This is a short application which should not take long to complete. Please email hubs@redbridge.gov.uk if you have any questions or problems with the form.
