With the major regeneration of the Royal Docks well underway, and huge amounts of investment over the next 20 years, it is vital that key aspects of the docks history and identity are maintained and celebrated for the future. Community involvement that embraces all groups that make up the docks is central to this process, and will ensure a vibrant and inclusive place is created for the long-term. This offers a rare opportunity for regeneration to deliver genuine benefits to the local area and build community wealth.
