Archway to undergo £2m revamp
People living in property to rent in the London borough of Islington have been informed that Archway is set to undergo a regeneration programme costing £2 million.
The improvements will include the addition of a new public space and more work will be done to remove the gyratory.
Islington Council has drawn up a seven-point action plan following consultation with residents and businesses in the area.
One of the points on the plan will see £500,000 spent on public space improvements at Archway Close and Flowers Mews.
Another will see £100,000 spent on initiatives to help boost local business, through the Archway Town Centre Management Group.
Councillor Paul Convery, Islington Council's executive member for planning, regeneration and transport, said: "We're committed to the regeneration of Archway, which is a great area but faces significant challenges."
Earlier this month, the council announced that local business had donated more than £20,000 to pay for hanging baskets to be installed across the borough.
