Mayor Rokhsana Fiaz OBE was on site at the Shipman Youth Zone as demolition began ahead of exciting redevelopment plans.
The new space, set to open in 2024, will offer a broader range of services for Newham families and young people. It will include a range of offers from sports to healthy eating, and an outdoor classroom, giving young people from an urban area the opportunity to learn in immersive, safe and creative outdoor environment.
The Shipman Youth Zone will be a highly sustainable new asset for the community, set to achieve BREEAM Outstanding.
