Speranza Street

Work is taking place in Speranza Street Plumstead to make way for 17 new net zero-carbon council homes. The former Plumstead Leisure Centre (now replaced by the award-winning Council-built Plumstead Centre) was knocked down.

The Speranza Street scheme consists of two one-bedroom flats, two wheelchair-adapted bungalows and 13 two and three-bedroom houses. A children’s play area is also incorporated in the design. Tenants of the Speranza Street development will benefit from living next door to the Plumstead Centre, which opened in 2020 following a multi-million pound investment by the Council, as part of a package of regeneration initiatives in Plumstead. Housed in a Grade II listed building, it is home to a leisure centre, community rooms, café and new library.
