There are only a few days left for residents to have their say on a plan that could transform Romford.

The Romford Masterplan consultation is set to close on Monday (November 11) after six weeks of feedback from people in the area.

Havering Council has held three drop-in events at Romford Central Library as part of the consultation, as well as collecting views via an online survey - which includes questions about the masterplan objectives and key themes.

The draft planning policy document aims to "guide" future development in Romford, laying out ambitions to boost the town centre economy and encourage sustainable growth.

It includes proposals to re-naturalise the River Rom, remove car parking from Market Place and partly use it for events, and create a "network" of walking and cycling routes, particularly across the ring road.

Seven key themes run throughout the document, such as the economy, character and townscape, movement and connectivity, and sustainability.

Graham Williamson, cabinet member for regeneration, called the 228-page masterplan a “blueprint for sustainable growth that respects our rich heritage while paving the way for a dynamic future”.

He previously said: "This is a pivotal moment for Romford.

"We are committed to creating a masterplan that reflects the aspirations and needs of our community and I urge everyone to take part and help shape the future of our town."

The plan has been in the making for seven years, after it was first commissioned under the Conservative administration in 2017. 

The draft masterplan was approved by Havering councillors in September and, once finalised, will be used alongside the Havering Local Plan. 

Residents' feedback from the consultation period over the past six weeks will be used to refine the drafted masterplan before it is finalised and submitted for adoption in 2025.

Those who have not yet had their say have until 11.59pm on Monday (November 11) to add their comments.
