The Tiller Road estate regeneration has been shaped by residents from the start. Since 2018 we have been working closely with local people to find out how to make the area a better place to live. The scheme is designed to deliver on the promises made to residents as part of their Landlord Offer and to deliver the kind of high-quality, affordable homes Tower Hamlets needs.

Since 2023 we’ve spent over 170 hours with residents and the local community across 60 events to fully understand what they need from the regeneration.

• Events include co-design workshops, monthly Resident Steering Group meetings, a weekly afternoon tea drop-in session at Winch House, and summer party celebrations.
• We’ve co-designed homes with residents to ensure they meet their needs, while guaranteeing current residents the right to return to a modern, like-for-like home.
• A panel including a resident and our Resident Advocate appointed The London Community Trust to manage the community centre in the future.

We’ve also continued to engage with neighbours in nearby blocks and businesses to make sure their feedback shapes what’s delivered. Community engagement events have been held in the Alpha Grove Community Hall, the Leisure Centre and Pepper Street. We have collected 73 cards from residents and wider community stating their support for the proposals.
