Have your say on future of Thames Valley University site

-

SLOUGH: Residents can hear more about the regenerati­on plans for the former Thames Valley University site during two online consultati­ons next week.

The scheme, called North West Quadrant (NWQ), includes proposals for 1,300 homes and leisure, retail and office spaces across 12 buildings in the heart of Slough town centre.

The £600million plans for the site are being brought forward by Muse Developmen­ts in partnershi­p with Slough Borough Council and Morgan Sindall Investment­s.

Two online community forums will be held on Tuesday as part of the project’s community consultati­on.

The first session will run from 10am to 11am with another taking place from 7pm to 8pm.

Chris Scott, developmen­t director at Muse Developmen­ts, said: “We’re delighted with the ideas and feedback we’ve already received from the local community.

“The responses are helping to shape our plans for this key site in Slough town centre.

“It is clear that people care about this site and want to see it brought back into use.”

He added the scheme is aiming to deliver community facilities and public spaces alongside new homes, shops, bars, restaurant­s and work spaces.

Council leader James Swindlehur­st said: “The design process is at an early stage and I urge residents to get involved in the consultati­on, visit the project website and join the upcoming online community forum .”
