Burnt Oak has been awarded nearly £270,000 to revitalise its high streets.

Mayor of London Boris Johnson pledged £269,048 from the High Street Fund to help businesses and shape future development in the area.

Proposals include revealing heritage buildings in Burnt Oak, reducing anti-social behaviour and creating better links with the surrounding area.

Boris Johnson said: “The imagination, enterprise and creativity of Londoners has shone through in the array of ideas that were put forward to the High Street Fund.

“London’s high streets are no longer about retail alone and I am thrilled to be supporting projects that seek to diversify and unlock opportunities in our most prized urban assets.”
