NEWS FROM POPLAR BATHS, HAILEYBURY YOUTH CENTRE & DAME COLET 2015
Updates: October 2015
Haileybury. Scaffolding down! Project complete
The scaffolding has come down at Haileybury and everything has completed on time in October 2015. The youth centre at Haileybury has been a focal point of the community in Stepney for many years, offering a range of sporting and non-sporting activities for young people. Now the design of the new youth centre is the result of a long process of dialogue with local users. Everyone wanted a bright, cheerful place where young people can visit, hang out and have fun in a safe and connected environment. Now it’s here.
DAME COLET – COMPLETED ON TIME IN OCTOBER 2015
We finished perfectly on time in October. The landscaping has been completed, the children’s playground and the gardens are beautifully constructed and the building is looking stunning. Find out more
