Details of the next phase and how you can get involved will be shared here and on our social media accounts soon.
Leigh Park Shopping Centre Improvements
Havant Borough Council has funds to invest in improving the look and feel of Leigh Park Shopping Centre and we would like to know how best to use it for the benefit of the whole community.
We want the decisions to be based on the needs and wants of the people that live, shop, work and visit there.
Work is already underway to improve the cleanliness and safety of the shopping area with CCTV being installed and collaboration between the council's Anti-Social Behaviour Officer and the neighbourhood policing team.
HBC also has some funding to deliver improvements to the general environment in Park Parade and Greywell Shopping Centre. We would like to know how you think it is best to spend this money.
Options could include:
- Improved lighting
- Refurbishment of the play equipment
- Planting
- Street art
- Improved street furniture such as benches, bins, bike racks
- Decoration such as bunting, lights, banners.

Leigh Park Community Campus Project
HBC has secured funding from One Public Estate to look at future provision of community facilities in Leigh Park. The community campus consists of Leigh Park Community Centre, NHS substance misuse treatment centre, the Apex Centre and Leigh Park Library. There is an opportunity to look at these buildings and determine if they meet the needs of the community as they are, or if there is a better way to provide the services as well as bringing in additional ones and provide much needed affordable housing.
We are working with key stakeholders such as Hampshire County Council, the NHS, Community First, other key stakeholders and the groups that currently use the community centre to establish what the community needs, which services could be put on the site, and how it could be operated in the future to ensure its sustainability.
Leigh Park Traders
As part of the engagement programme, we are keen to hear from the traders that operate in Park Parade and the Greywell Centre. We are planning some specific events and will be in touch directly to invite you.
Please email economic_development@havant.gov.uk if you are interested in getting involved.
Leigh Park Vacant Shop Scheme
The Leigh Park Vacant Shop Scheme for 2025 has been a success with all funds allocated to new and expanding businesses in the shopping centre.
Keep an eye on our social media for details of the stores that have been supported as and when they open.
