Earlier this summer, we held the first phase of public consultation on our early concept designs for the Fleming Centre.
Over 200 people attended our public exhibitions or webinar, and 82 completed surveys. We’re grateful to everyone who took part and shared their views. Feedback was overwhelmingly positive:
- 100 per cent of respondents supported the delivery of the Fleming Centre
- 90 per cent supported the proposed sustainability features
- 71 per cent supported retaining the Bays building’s original architecture.
Participants asked for more detail on local employment and learning opportunities, improvements to public spaces and walking routes, enhancements to the canal basin, and how the Centre will link with St Mary’s Hospital.
You can read the full phase one feedback report.
Our second phase of consultation will take place in autumn 2025, when we will share updated designs ahead of submitting a planning application in December.
