Fresh plans for the redevelopment of a popular Teddington community centre have been made public, as the council seek the views of residents.

The latest plans for the Elleray Hall site include details of a housing development, which the council has said will deliver 100 per cent affordable homes.

According to the latest information, this would see the creation of 12 one-bedroom flats, two two-bedroom flats, and two one-bed wheelchair accessible flats.

The council says the current community centre has reached the end of its useful life and is "too costly to maintain", and that a replacement would continue to offer core services to older residents/

Last Wednesday (March 10), a virtual session was held with the architect for the public to ask questions - with another event set for Saturday, March 20 between 11am and 1.30pm.

Cllr Michael Wilson, Vice Chair of the Finance, Policy and Resource Committee, said:

“I am really pleased that we have been able to work with the community and the Elleray Community Association Trustees to develop proposals for a flexible indoor and outdoor space, where people of all ages can be active, engaged and motivated.

“This fit for purpose centre and much needed affordable housing will be a benefit to the community for decades to come. I hope local people will review these proposals and help shape this exciting new centre for Teddington.”

Additional engagement activity will be held for the current users of Elleray Hall and anyone who is not able to access the proposals online can request hard copies by emailing Ellerayreprovision@richmond.gov.uk.
