Hammersmith & Fulham Council is investing in a community-led redesign of North End Road in Fulham – and would love to know what you think.
Since 2014, the council has been working hard with businesses, traders and residents to improve North End Road as a thriving retail and food destination.
And now it is ready to move to the next stage.
“We want to do things with residents and businesses, not to them,” said Cllr Andrew Jones, H&F Cabinet Member for the Economy and the Arts. “This is why we’re asking local people and businesses to share their ideas and suggestions on how we can improve North End Road to live and work in and visit – all part of our plan to make H&F the best place to live, work and play in Europe.”
Complete the online survey here: Tell us what you think
Survey closes on Friday 22 February

H&F Council has already been talking to shopkeepers, market traders, community representatives and local community groups.
Based on what they said, the council is putting together an initial wish list of possible future improvements. Some of these will be small and quick, others will be long-term projects which need more investment.
All residents are invited to view and give their opinions on the wish list on 8 February (from 2pm to 6pm) and 9 February (from 10am to 2pm) at St John’s Church, North End Road, Fulham (Click Here for a map)
Based on the responses to this and the online questionnaire, the council will come up with a plan for the way forward, which will involve further consultation.

I am chairing an independent commission, set up by H&F Council, looking at policing and crime in Hammersmith and Fulham. We are presently at the evidence gathering stage and want to hear your views on what we should be focussing on over the coming months before we report back to the Council and the Police with recommendations for action.
A ‘call for written evidence’ is a request for views, opinions and research that can help to inform a commission’s discussions and deliberations, and its conclusions and recommendations at the end of the evidence gathering process.
What the commission wants to know is what most concerns residents and organisations about crime and policing in the borough and why. What is your experience of crime and policing and what do you think needs to be done to tackle it in H&F?
This is the link to the article announcing the launch of the Commission on the H&F website:
If you want to submit written evidence to the Commission, please send an email to monica.roucou@lbhf.gov.uk
setting out your views, opinions and/or any research that you think will assist the Commission by 10 February. Your submission for evidence is important to us, as we want to take a holistic and comprehensive approach to tackle crime in our borough.
Kind regards,
Adam Matan OBE
Chair, Policing and Crime Commission
