In this project, there will also be parks, gardens and space for other shared amenities. There will also be new routes for pedestrians, vehicles and cyclists to make the commute easier from the site.

Eastside Locks is an ambitious £450 million canalside regeneration program. This is believed to be one of Europe’s biggest regeneration schemes. A part of the plan was already approved in 2019. The complete plan is to construct apartments, a 175 room hotel, shops, cafes,  restaurants and bars on the 13 acre site. There are also plans to reopen the old Typhoo building.
