Seven Kings Community Vision
"Our vision for the Seven Kings area is for its strong, diverse communities to come together, share and support each other so that every resident can be safe, well and thriving in a cared-for environment."
Developed in partnership between residents, local organisations and Redbridge Council, the Seven Kings Community Vision aims to share the community’s ambitions for the future of Seven Kings, Chadwell, Goodmayes, Mayfield and Newbury.
The Vision paints a picture of the local area, its goals and priorities for change, and makes recommendations for how the council, residents, other partners and the new Hub should work together to shape the future of the Seven Kings area.
There are ten community goals identified in the Vision:
- increased sense of belonging to an area with a shared identity
- reduction in isolation, especially among older and younger people
- increased community spirit, with people looking after one another
- increased collective efforts to keep streets clean, tidy and inviting
- increased access to nature and green spaces
- improved mental health
- increased personal development, learning and growth for residents
- thriving high streets with fewer fast-food outlets
- reduced youth violence
- improved safety and respect for women and girl
The Seven Kings Community Vision requires that residents, community groups, faith leaders, voluntary sector partners and public services work collaboratively to provide a joined-up network of activities, services and opportunities to support residents to thrive.
