We've now completed our fourth social sustainability assessment in south Acton. We're understanding how the regeneration of the South Acton Estate is devloping a new community at Acton Gardens, one that is bringing longstanding south Acton residents together with newer residents moving into the area.
Read the summary of the social sustainability assement here.
This is the fourth round of this research, building on social sustainability assessments in 2015, 2018 and 2021. It repeats questions used in two earlier rounds of research, adding questions into the latest round to understand the impact of the cost of living crisis.
The research was commissioned by Acton Gardens LLP – a joint venture between Countryside Properties and L&Q, in partnership with Ealing Council . The purpose of the research is to explore the social impacts of regeneration, to better understand local priorities and needs, and to influence the planning, design and management of future phases of development. The research findings are a snapshot of how residents are experiencing regeneration over halfway through the programme, when new housing has been developed at scale but areas of the older estate are still occupied.
