Have your say on the future of Staines town centre 

h
Spelthorne Borough Council is inviting local people to a public exhibition to share their ideas about the future of Staines town centre.

The Council is developing a Staines Masterplan which will set out a long-term vision for how the town centre could change and grow. It will look at areas such as public spaces, new developments and how different parts of the town work together. Feedback from residents, businesses and visitors will help shape the final Masterplan. 

Anyone with an interest in Staines is encouraged to come along and share their views on: 

 

  • the strategies being developed for Staines town centre  
  • the ideas for specific sites in the town centre  
  • key issues that may have been missed  
  • their level of support for the proposals  

 

The public exhibition will take place at the following time and location: 

 

Wednesday 22 July 

10.30am to 3.30pm 

Staines High Street (come along to the stall opposite Iceland) 

 

For anyone who is unable to make this date, there will also be an opportunity to view the exhibition and get involved by: 

 

  • visiting the engagement hub to view the exhibition materials virtually and share comments via a short survey from Wednesday 22 July 2026 until 11.59pm Monday 24 August 2026 
  • visiting Staines Library in-person to view the exhibition boards from 23 July 2026 to 24 August 2026 

 

Staines town centre stands upon the threshold of substantial growth and investment and is at the heart of a wider area of change, growth, connection and opportunity. The emerging Masterplan aims to ensure that everyone in the community can benefit from this development, providing a framework to guide the sustainable growth, design and investment in the town centre over the coming years. This is an opportunity to help shape how development meets the needs and aspirations of local people.  

 

Cllr John Turner, Chair of Spelthorne Borough Council's Environment and Sustainability Committee, said: "The future of Staines town centre is important to everyone who lives, works or spends time here, so we want to hear as many different views as possible. This exhibition is a great opportunity for people to tell us what they like, what they think could be improved and what they would like to see in the years ahead. All feedback received will be carefully considered as the Masterplan is developed."
