Gunnersbury Park's £340,000 Revitalisation: Threatened Buildings Saved

Gunnersbury Park in West London is set for a major revitalisation, thanks to a £340,000 award from Highways England. The funding will help preserve the park's cultural heritage and transform three threatened buildings into cultural and artistic facilities.

Councillor Steve Curran, Leader of Hounslow Council, expressed gratitude for the funding, stating that it will have a significant impact on securing the park's future. The Gunnersbury 2026 Masterplan outlines a three-phase regeneration scheme, with the current phase focusing on the Small Mansion and Stable buildings. Highways England's Principal Cultural Heritage Advisor, Jim Hunter, is delighted to contribute to the scheme's success.

The park and its buildings are jointly owned by Ealing and Hounslow Councils and managed by the Gunnersbury Estate 2026 Community Interest Company. The 75-hectare park is home to 22 listed buildings, eight of which were on Historic England's Heritage At Risk Register in 2009. Historic England has also contributed £483,000 towards the scheme from their own funds. Councillor Julian Bell, Leader of Ealing Council, sees the funding as a significant step in restoring the park's cultural heritage and ensuring local benefits. Emily Gee, Historic England's Regional Director for London and the South East, praised the transformation of the historic buildings into community facilities.

The £340,000 award from Highways England, along with additional funding from Historic England, will help revitalise Gunnersbury Park and secure the future of its threatened buildings. The transformed facilities are set to bring cultural and artistic benefits to the local community.
