Thriving Hoxton Street Fund

Overview

The Thriving Hoxton Street Fund will support activity and improvements that help Hoxton Street remain vibrant, welcoming and affordable.

The fund is intended to strengthen the local economy by supporting traders, businesses and community-led activity along the street. It forms part of wider work to ensure Hoxton Street continues to serve local people as a place to shop, work, meet and take part in community life.

Upcoming project

The fund is currently being developed. Further information about who can apply, what the fund can support and when applications will open will be published once arrangements are confirmed.

What is happening

We are developing a funding programme to support projects, events and improvements along Hoxton Street.

The fund could support activity that helps bring people to the street, strengthens local businesses and trading, or creates more opportunities for residents and community organisations to take part in local events and initiatives.

Potential uses for the fund may include:

  • events and activities that attract people to Hoxton Street
  • initiatives that support local traders and businesses
  • community-led projects that make the street more welcoming and active
  • small-scale improvements that contribute to the character and everyday use of the street

The final eligibility criteria, funding arrangements and application process are still being developed and will be published before the fund opens.

What we heard from local people

Local people told us that Hoxton Street’s traders, businesses and market are an important part of the neighbourhood.

There was a strong desire to keep the street active and affordable, while supporting the people and organisations that contribute to its character.

People also expressed interest in more events, activities and community initiatives that would encourage residents and visitors to spend time on Hoxton Street.

How this project responds

The fund responds by providing financial support for local activity and improvements that contribute to a thriving Hoxton Street.

By supporting traders, businesses and community-led ideas, the fund will help create more opportunities for activity while strengthening the local economy.

It will also help ensure that future improvements reflect local priorities and support an inclusive market street that remains accessible and relevant to the wider community.

Funding information

Further information will be published once the fund has been finalised, including:

  • who will be eligible to apply
  • the types of activity that can be funded
  • the amount of funding available
  • how applications will be assessed
  • the timetable for applications and delivery
