Residents are welcome to share their views on revised plans as Westminster City Council holds a resident ballot on the Ebury Bridge estate.

The new ballot allows residents to support the council's proposal to increase the number of new council homes for social rent.

The council will be eligible for additional funding from the Mayor of London to significantly increase the number of new truly affordable homes available to residents if residents vote in favour of the scheme.

The goal is to build just over 780 brand-new residences, of which more than half will be affordable. In addition to the 198 Council homes being replaced and updated for the council tenants who currently reside on the estate, the number of new council homes for social rent could increase by approximately 130 (from 41 to over 170).

Cllr Matt Noble, Westminster City Council Cabinet Member for Climate Action, Regeneration and Renters commented:

“This is the second ballot we’ve introduced as the new administration and shows how serious we are about giving local communities more say on the future of their area. Consulting with residents and taking on board their feedback on proposed regeneration plans allows us to build even more social and lower rent homes needed for families in our city.”

The ballot will open on 23rd January 2023 and run for three weeks to give residents an opportunity to have their say.

Two weeks before the ballot opens, residents will receive a ‘landlord offer’ which will set out the regeneration commitments residents will vote on.

The information will be available soon at eburybridge.org.
