A public exhibition will be held in Slough next month to show details of the proposed Slough Central scheme.

Berkeley Homes will deliver a mixed-use development of residential, commercial, leisure, hospitality and cultural spaces at the town centre site.

Particular highlights include Station Walk, which note that Slough High Street as the site of the UK’s first zebra crossing in 1951 and Herschel Square and Central Park, which will commemorate William Herschel, one of the first professional astronomers – through special lighting and artwork.

Berkeley will be submitting a reserved matters application for the first phase later this year, with a view to starting on site before the end of 2026 – and welcoming the first residents in 2030.

Flexible spaces for events, fairs, and markets will be created including a central hub and other areas for people to gather.

Before the scheme is completed, ‘meanwhile’ uses will be explored such as pop-up retail, food and beverage outlets.

Freddie Hill, head of development for Berkeley Homes Oxford & Chiltern, said: “Our design celebrates Slough’s enduring spirit of opportunity and reinvention – honouring its past while shaping its future.

“We are confident that the core elements we’ve included within our masterplan will create a blueprint for a connected, resilient, and thriving Slough.  A place where people can live, work, socialise, and grow in an environment that champions community, creativity, and sustainability.”

The public exhibition will be at the Observatory Shopping Centre on November 13.
