What is Brent Cross Town?

As part of the Brent Cross Cricklewood regeneration scheme, Barnet Council’s biggest ever redevelopment programme, we’re building a brand new net zero 180-acre neighbourhood called Brent Cross Town in partnership with Related Argent. There will be up to 6,700 new homes providing a mix of social housing and a range of homes to buy or rent with some affordable schemes like shared ownership being offered alongside private sale properties.

Along with eight parks and open spaces there will be a new high street with new shops and leisure facilities and community facilities that are being designed to increase the quality of life for everyone that lives close by to Brent Cross Town or lives there in the future.

What happens after the consultation closes?

This will also help us think about how we might work with our partners or other spaces in the area to provide activities and services that people want.

Feedback on events at Brent Cross Town will be used to create our event programme for 2025.

    We asked

    We asked for your views on a new community space that we are developing at Brent Cross Town, as well as the type of services and activities that you’d like us to provide there. We also asked for your views on the types of events and activities you would like to see included in Brent Cross Town’s community events programme for 2025 and beyond.

    Between October and December 2024, we encouraged residents to complete our community space and events surveys through a newsletter drop in the local area, on our website and monthly e-newsletters. We received a total of 185 responses, including 79 online responses and 106 paper responses conducted during events, and in-person engagement at Claremont Way retailers and Claremont Park.

    48% of respondents said they would like the community space to be a flexible multi-purpose space. Analysis of the feedback data showed a strong preference for:

    • Arts & craft workshops
    • Movie screenings
    • Services such as mental health support
    • Mobile library provision
    • Bookable space (e.g. for birthday parties).

    The most popular events mentioned that residents would like to see as part of Brent Cross Town’s programme are:

    • Sports events
    • Children events
    • Cultural events


    We did

    Based on our findings from the community survey and engagement, our vision is to create a space that is welcoming to all ages and backgrounds, multifunctional and with an operational model which seeks to maximise its positive impact on community well-being. Barnet Council is now looking for an experienced operator from the voluntary sector, a community interest company or any other relevant interested organisation to run the space, and the selection process is due to start in August with the intention of appointing an operator by the end of the year.

    There will be open days on Thursday 7 and Friday 8 August from 9.30am to 11.30am at Brent Cross Town’s Visitor Pavilion where you will have the opportunity to visit the community space, explore how it is is developing and discover the part you could play in bringing this new place to life. If you are interested in attending the open days or would like more details, please email transformingbx@barnet.gov.uk

    More information about the space can also be found on our website at transformingbx.co.uk/communityspace
