Artwork created by Willowbrook and St Joseph the Worker Primary School pupils around sustainability and homes of the future is the main feature of newly installed hoardings surrounding Brentwood Borough Council’s first zero carbon development at Brookfield Close in Hutton. This was the first in a series of projects led by the Council’s Strategic Housing Development team, which aims to make sure that young people have meaningful involvement in placemaking and shaping the future of affordable housing and environments where they live. Last week, our CEO Jonathan Stephenson, Cllr Dr Tim Barrett and Paulette McAllister went along to see the creative artwork on the hoardings around the Brookfield Close site ahead of work starting to prepare the site for construction, with main works commencing in the summer.

More to come on this 🙏👌 #MDLS #digitalinclusion #flackthink
