Erith Town Centre has been selected as one of 12 London high streets to receive £50,000 in funding through the High Street Place Labs (HSPL) initiative.

This investment will support the London Borough of Bexley in driving forward its regeneration plans for Erith. As part of this initiative, the Council will collaborate closely with local residents and town centre users, while also strengthening partnerships and deepening community engagement. It is hoped that this initiative will act as a catalyst for further investment, helping to transform Erith into a more vibrant and thriving town centre.

Cllr Munur, Cabinet Member for Place Shaping, said: 

This funding is a welcome boost to our plans to improve and transform Erith.

This money will help us expand our engagement with residents, businesses and other key stakeholders to develop a shared strategy to help deliver what is best for Erith and the borough.”

The funding for the HSPL initiative has been provided by the Mayor of London and the government's UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
