PROPOSALS for the regeneration of Walthamstow town centre are due to be unveiled this week.

Designers and consultants hired by the council are set to release details of their ideas for the Arcade site, town square and High Street on their website from tomorrow (Tuesday April 19) at the earliest.

A team of companies including urban designers Maccreanor Lavington, architecture firm Gort Scott and Drivers Jonas Deloitte have been drawing up the proposals with Islington and Shoreditch Housing Association.

The group wants to build a housing and leisure development on the Arcade site in Hoe Street.

The plans were due to be released last week but the council raised objections.

A statement on the regeneration team's website last Friday (April 15) said: "We had intended to post a summary of the draft masterplan onto this blog today.

"However, due to the Borough not having signed-off on the content, they have asked us not to post anything yet.

"We are disappointed that this is the case and it is unlikely that we will be able to issue material before Tuesday [tomorrow] next week.

"Apologies on our behalf, we are working to resolve this."
