Residents have voted in favour for a major regeneration of Charlton House, Albany House and Albany Parade in Syon Ward, Brentford High Street.

With an overall ballot turnout of 81%, 87% of eligible residents voted in favour of regeneration.

Charlton House, Albany House/Albany Parade proposals form part of Hounslow Council's major programme to regenerate its estates and help deliver 5,000 affordable homes in the borough by 2022.

The programme aims to deliver about 200 high-quality, energy efficient, new council housing for residents.

The council embarked on its estate regeneration journey early last year, just before the pandemic which then made the journey more challenging, as we were not able to engage and consult with residents in ways that we normally would.

"However, the results are evidence that we truly worked in partnership with our residents. The result also represents a major milestone in not only delivering brand new council homes but also the first regeneration of a council estate in many years.

"This is an exciting time for residents who have given their clear support for an improved neighbourhood. We are committed to building new council homes, and the proposed 200 new homes as part of this scheme will go a long way to meeting the needs of local people. I look forward to working with the residents and tenants to make this happen, we are also committed to providing new shops and open spaces."

Dave Cox, Chair of the Charlton House Residents Association said: "The Yes vote is a vote for a brighter future.

"As residents, we know what the inherent problems are with the buildings, which will continue no matter how much money is thrown at them.

"The regeneration will give us a chance to live in up-to-date homes. The council, in its offer, has committed to fully supporting residents throughout the regeneration and into their new homes."
