[ Community Planning Projects ]Bemerton Estate Neighbourhood Plan: Updated 26 July 2010
John Thompson & Partners (JTP) have been chosen by the London Borough of Islington and Homes for Islington to work with residents to develop a Neighbourhood Plan for Bemerton. Throughout June and July we have met as many people as possible from Bemerton to get their views about where they live. We have been knocking on doors to ask what residents don't like about their homes and estate and what improvements they would like to see in the future. We have also held three Neighbourhood Meetings to give community an opportunity to work with the team and come up with ideas for the future of Bemerton. The team is now considering the views of the residents and will be developing options for the future that will be presented back to the community in October.
Bemerton Festival: Saturday 3 July 2010
The Neighbourhood Planning Stall, Stranraer Way, Bemerton Estate
As part of the Bemerton Estate Festival, we were hosting a stall in Stranraer Way where residents could take part in creative and interactive activities to help us find out more about what life is like on Bemerton and what their ideas are for the future of where they live.
Background
John Thompson & Partners (JTP) have been chosen by the London Borough of Islington and Homes for Islington to work with residents to develop a Neighbourhood Plan for Bemerton. In 2008 JTP worked with local residents on the Bemerton Links and Spaces project (BLiS) which concentrated on the external spaces and routes through and around the estate. This time, we can consider a whole range of options, from small changes to the appearance of blocks, through to major change involving demolition and the building of new homes.
A number of community consultation events have been organised to take place this summer for local people to get involved in planning a new future for Bemerton. You can view the details of the events in the PDF located in the right-hand side.
