Lambeth Staff Conference, Brixton Liveable Neighbourhood Walk

This week we were grateful to the Brixton Society for helping to lead a guided walk around the scheme area as part of the council’s staff conference which focussed on carbon reduction.

As well as discussing ideas for the project, we also monitored air quality as we went using a portable particulate monitor to check the levels of particulate matter PM2.5 / PM10 in real time.

It was fascinating to contrast historical plans for major road building in the town centre with the ethos of our project which is to reduce motor traffic rather than encourage it.

The walk was a great way to introduce people to the project and hopefully we can organise similar events open to all in the near future.

What’s next?

Over the next four weeks our team will be out on the street running a series of face to face engagement events and circulating materials via local media, project stakeholders, community champions, businesses, GPs, Libraries, Tenancy and Residents Associations and many more.

After the map closes we will be analysing the comments and feedback to help us understand what the main issues are in the Brixton area from the people that know it best, residents and visitors. We will publish a report on these findings towards the end of 2019 which will form the basis of our next phase of collaborative design.

Starting from November we will be developing proposals in collaboration with local residents, businesses and stakeholders to improve Brixton streets. We will invite you to design workshops, surveys, trials and walkabouts to help us shape proposals together. We will share locations, dates and times of the face to face engagement soon; watch this space.

Thank you for your time and please share!
