Although Hornchurch’s retail economy is relatively healthy, the recent downturn has had a negative impact on local businesses. The area also suffers from road congestion, poor personal safety, inadequate inclusive design features and a tired public realm. Recognising the increasing need for intervention, London Borough of Havering set out a programme of works consisting of cultural and residential redevelopment, physical improvements to the high street and support to rebrand businesses. Key features of the scheme included a focus on improving pedestrian permeability. This was achieved by removing guardrail, placing crossings on desire lines, increasing the width of the footways and implementing a continual central pedestrian crossing strip. The scheme also improved social spaces through planting, new lighting, wayfinding and street furniture. In addition to these, traffic was smoothed, bus stops were made fully accessible, and better provisions for cycling were installed. Further public realm works have begun with additional funding from TfL following the success of the high street’s improvements, which won a ‘highly commended’ Urban Transport Design Award in 2014.
