Joyce & Snells - Regeneration with People at its Heart

Estate regeneration is never quick — but done well, it changes lives.

Sarah Lovell, Regeneration Programme Director at Enfield Council, shares how the Joyce & Snells Estate is delivering 2,200 new homes and 5,000 jobs through co-design, early community investment and smart funding strategy.


She explains why place-making is about people as much as plans — and how councils can keep ambitious projects moving by keeping people at their heart.


🎥 Part of 1.5 Million New Homes: The Local Government Challenge, sponsored by Red Loft and Lovell.
