In September 2012 we teamed up with Project Centre to deliver Sutton Council’s ambitious GLA-funded regeneration programme to the North Cheam and Worcester Park town centres. The project aimed to re-launch two Glorious Suburbs by improving the standing of local retailers and strengthening the town centre as the heart of the local community.

In Worcester Park, works focussed on enhancing the southern gateway into the town centre. A comprehensive package of works to a curving Art Nouveau terrace was designed to strengthen both the nighttime and the daytime economy. Local people have re-named Worcester Park’s southern gateway mini times square following completion of the works. In North Cheam, large shop forecourts and a distinct Tudor-style terrace mark the town centre. Our proposals were designed to enliven the forecourts. Alongside a signage renewal programme, we provided traders with outdoor display furniture, market stalls, awnings, outside seating and parasols that form the backdrop to a lively and bustling street scene. See also www.glorioussutton.co.uk for our project to advertise the high street.
