Engaging with the community

The story so far

Hallwood Park & Palace Fields have been chosen to receive large scale investment from Riverside.

We are working with you, residents, community groups, partners and consultants to develop a neighbourhood renewal plan. This plan will encompass the whole community of Hallwood Park and Palace Fields, not just Riverside tenants, looking at how we can work with you to support the area to continue to grow.

Thank you to everyone who has been involved in our first phase of engagement. We have really enjoyed the opportunity to meet with so many of you and hear your thoughts.

Over 120 of you spoke to us at drop-in sessions in the community and at community group meetings. Many of you completed surveys either in person or online which we are now analysing to shape the development of the area renewal plan.

Myth Busting

Myth:

The community won't have any say in what happens. You'll only speak to certain people.

Fact:

We will consult with all the community to shape and develop the area renewal plan ? we need your local expertise on how you would like the area to change!

Myth:

The area renewal plan is all about building more homes.

Fact:

Supporting communities to grow doesn't work if it is only about homes ? the plan will look at what non-physical changes are needed as well as physical.

Myth:

You have had plans from the start and consultation won't change these plans.

Fact:

We started our consultation earlier this year asking you what you like and don't like about Hallwood Park and Palace Fields. This information will shape and develop the area renewal plan.

Myth:

You are only interested in Riverside's tenants.

Fact:

The plan will cover Hallwood Park and Palace Fields as a whole community.

Could you be a Community Champion?

We are looking for people who live and/or work in Hallwood Park or Palace Fields who would like to be a Community Champion for the area renewal plan. This would involve working with the Area Renewal Team to shape how people are involved in the development of the plan and to support the team to communicate information to your peers in the community.

We particularly want ideas on how we can get young people involved in shaping the plan and would welcome young people as community champions. Any thoughts you have on how we can engage with this group in particular would be really welcome.

For more information on becoming a community champion please contact: hp.pf.enquiry@.uk
