Shaping the Future community newsletter: November 2026

An important regeneration update

In this edition, we explain that our next engagement update on the future of Buckskin and South Ham will now be in early 2027. We had hoped to provide a further update this autumn, but having listened carefully to feedback from residents and stakeholders, we believe it is important to take more time to consider the options and make sure any future proposals are properly informed by what we have heard.

We know that continued uncertainty can be difficult and that some residents were expecting an update sooner. In the meantime, our conversation with the community continues, including through our regular community drop-ins.

There’s plenty more to catch up on in this edition too, including:

• meet our new dedicated Buckskin and South Ham locality team
• find out how resident feedback is helping to shape the Pinkerton Road proposals
• read Kelly’s story and how Shared Equity helped her move to a new home
• discover the latest news from The Beacon and our refurbishment pilot projects
• read about plans submitted for 99 affordable homes at Camrose
• see the difference Skills 4 Work has made for local residents
• find dates for upcoming community drop-ins, activities and events.
