Hendon Community Partnership Board application

Get involved and help support the development of the Hendon Hub.

We want to involve a wide range of residents, businesses and voluntary and community organisations to help us develop a Hendon Hub that works for everyone.

Background

Led by Barnet Council, Hendon Hub regeneration will integrate new academic and civic spaces along The Burroughs in Hendon. We have listened to the community’s feedback and have retained Hendon Library in its current location. The council want to work with the community to ensure the Hendon Hub regeneration benefits the local community.

Working in partnership with Middlesex University and other key stakeholders including the Barnet Library Service, this project will significantly improve the look and feel of The Burroughs, creating a pleasant environment that is safer, greener and more accessible. Local charities will have new and improved spaces in modern buildings; the Meritage Centre community hall is also being re-provided for all; the refurbished library will have a community room and further flexible community space upstairs. We need to know the community’s priorities for these spaces and ensure Hendon Hub works for everyone.

The Hendon Community Partnership Board (HCPB) is a working group, made up of Hendon community representatives, elected members and council officers. It has been established to help support the development of the Hendon Hub and lead in identifying and implementing community-led initiatives.
