About the Project
In 2015, Barnet Council commissioned We Made That, Retail Revival and Maddison Graphic to produce a Town Centre Strategy for Burnt Oak. This project sets out the delivery of short term, medium and long term improvements for the town centre with a place-based approach via funding from the GLA’s High Street Fund.
Additional physical improvements including improving the kiosk outside the station and the community news board outside Burnt Oak Library.As part of this work, a consultation survey revealed that over 30% of businesses had been in the area for over 10 years and the majority were independent. Who did we engage with? The strategy was developed using local feedback from a survey led by the Burnt Oak Residents Association and Love Burnt Oak in 2015. Over 100 people attended the ‘Burnt Oak Looking Forward’ exhibition. A series of monthly Business Traders meetings were held between March and June 2016 with Retail Revival engaging with local traders on the High Street. A family Fruit Fun Day with local traders was held on Watling Avenue including activities such as face painting and high street treasure hunt trail was attended by more than 100 people. The strategy was adopted by the Council in February 2017, setting a framework for the growth of Burnt Oak and informs the development of the Public Realm Improvements project which is currently in the design phases.
