We will work to ensure that engagement is not an add on, but rather an integral part of the overall scheme and design process. Key principles behind this approach are that we will involve whole communities but tailor messages to key audiences, whilst making it easy, relevant and fun to be involved. Activities are both inclusive and accessible and we provide a wide range of opportunities to share ideas and identify priorities – we believe that everyone has something to contribute and everybody’s voice is valued. Our design materials are clear, legible and informative; designed to raise aspirations but manage expectations. As well as community led design, we will explore and facilitate co-implementation opportunities, for example community planting days, creating a mosaic or mural, setting up a kitchen garden, or whatever your group may need.
