Big Changes Ahead: Liz Pe

After five years of service as Chair of the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC), Liz Peace has announced her decision to step down from her role. Peace has been instrumental in leading the OPDC through some significant challenges and milestones during her tenure, including the creation of a masterplan for the regeneration of the Old Oak and Park Royal area in West London. Her departure comes as the OPDC transitions from its planning phase to the delivery phase, with several key projects set to move forward in the coming months.

During her time as Chair, Peace has played a crucial role in building relationships with local stakeholders, developers, and investors to promote the vision for the area and attract investment. She has also been a strong advocate for the creation of new homes, jobs, and public spaces in Old Oak and Park Royal, which is one of the largest regeneration projects in Europe. Peace’s leadership has been instrumental in ensuring that the OPDC remains on track to deliver on its ambitious goals for the area, despite facing challenges such as changes in government policy and economic uncertainty.

In a statement announcing her decision to step down, Peace expressed her confidence in the OPDC’s ability to continue making progress in the coming years, thanks to the dedication and talent of its team. She acknowledged the hard work and commitment of everyone involved in the project, from the board members to the staff and stakeholders, in driving forward the regeneration of Old Oak and Park Royal. Peace also thanked the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, for his support and vision for the area, which has been crucial in shaping the OPDC’s direction and goals.

Looking ahead, Peace remains optimistic about the future of the OPDC and the potential for the area to become a vibrant and diverse community that benefits everyone who lives and works there. She believes that the groundwork has been laid for the OPDC to continue building on its successes and deliver on the promises made to the local community. As she prepares to step down from her role, Peace expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to serve as Chair of the OPDC and be part of such an exciting and transformative project.

The search for Peace’s successor is already underway, with the Mayor of London expected to appoint a new Chair in the coming months. The OPDC will be looking for someone who can build on the progress made under Peace’s leadership and continue to drive forward the regeneration of Old Oak and Park Royal. The new Chair will need to have the vision, skills, and experience to navigate the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for the OPDC, working closely with partners and stakeholders to deliver on the promises made to the local community.

As Liz Peace prepares to step down as Chair of the OPDC, she leaves behind a legacy of dedication, hard work, and achievement that has set the stage for the continued success of this ambitious regeneration project. Her leadership has been instrumental in shaping the vision and goals of the OPDC, and her departure marks a new chapter in the organization’s history as it moves from planning to delivery. With a strong foundation in place and a clear vision for the future, the OPDC is well positioned to continue making progress and transforming Old Oak and Park Royal into a thriving and dynamic community that benefits everyone.
