Community Consultation

Focus Groups:

Focus groups started in September 2013 and ended in November 2013

Having talked with lots of people and analysed hundreds of questionnaires, several themes that highlight local needs in our BigLocalSW11 area keep recurring.

We want to spend the next few weeks focussing on these issues and come up with plans for spending money to make a difference.

We have identified 6 key areas where people want to see improvements: Supporting Families, Supporting older people and intergenerational activities, Opportunities for People with disability, Improving Physical Spaces,  Improving Opportunities for Young People & Employment, Training and Opportunities for Volunteering.

Report

At our consultation events we have had over 1,000 adults and children attend and be part of Big Local activities.  From these events we gathered nearly 1000 pieces of feedback about how people would like to improve the SW11 area.

Change wanted:

Some of the specific things we heard are listed below to give an idea of the sort of things people would like to see change:

“We need dedicated youth space”

“The parks need improving, now the adventure playground is unmanned it is unsafe and used needles can be found”

“Too much dog mess, stops people using the green spaces”

“More opportunities and role models for young people, need opportunities for training and widening horizons”
