two.1.4) Short description
Newham are inviting tenders from Conservation Architect's and those with Heritage experience, to lead a multi-disciplinary design team for the services from RIBA 2-7.
In November 2021, Newham Council's secured almost £40m from the first round of the Levelling Up Fund (LUF). The Connecting to Opportunities bid included £6,231,806 allocated to the creation of a Heritage Centre in the Grade II listed Canning Town Old Library (CTOL). The current proposal is that this building will be operated by Newham's Resident Engagement and Participation Service. The Regeneration team within the Council's Community Wealth Building Directorate are leading on the delivery of the LUF funding pertaining to the capital improvements of the building.
Canning Town Old Library is one of Newham's most important heritage assets and this funding will provide an opportunity to celebrate Newham's thriving culture and rich history. The neighbouring Public Hall, built at a similar time and now occupied by Community Links, hosted trade unionist Keir Hardie and suffragette Sylvia Pankhurst which demonstrates that this building is more than just community asset for local residents but is an important community asset for the whole Borough.
