Love Easton - Developing the city through community consultation

Love Easton

How do local people want to develop one of Bristol’s most diverse, vibrant and deprived wards? Local people volunteering to engage residents in an innovative and dynamic consultation project

Legislation introduced in April 2009 calls on local authorities and developers to involve local people in decisions that affect them.

Local residents and architects have taken the initiative to find out what their community wants during a month-long intensive consultation this October.

The aim is to create a shared vision for Easton’s future which will then be developed into a strategic, community-led regeneration document that reflects local people’s aspirations.

An urban regeneration document which clearly sets out residents’ visions will not only give the community more power at the planning stage but will also be invaluable for developers and the local authority.

Producing a well-researched and relevant regeneration document will make the community’s wishes clear. Whilst we cannot guarantee that the document will be adopted fully, it should be invaluable in supporting the local authority’s obligation to consult.

The Love Easton Urban Design Task Group will be opening a Community Cafe, holding a street party, music events, consultation events and much, much more...

The Love Easton Community Cafe will open as a consultation ‘Hub’ on 3rd October 2009

5 Stapleton Rd, Easton, Bristol, BS5 0QR

For more info visit www.LoveEaston.com

youtube link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXHwlEodBiU

Why are we doing this?

Easton is one of Bristol’s most deprived, yet vibrant, wards. Its proximity to the city centre, and its relatively cheap land prices make it attractive to developers.

The Easton Planning Group is an open voluntary collection of residents who meet with planners and developers once a month to give feedback on proposed developments. However, the members of this group realised that they could not truly represent the views and wishes of all the residents of Easton.

Therefore, in February 2009, they set up the Love Easton Urban Design Task Group, which aims to find out and consolidate the community’s feelings on how the area should be developed. This information will then be presented in a strategic and community-led regeneration document.

WorldRoots Voice, Gathering Voices senior vocal flagship project, has been in existence for seven years and is currently one of the UK’s foremost world music youth acappella ensembles. The group’s repertoire is an eclectic mix of global styles, ranging from Gospel, Eastern European and African, to contemporary western pieces.

New members are able to join at the beginning of each term and rehearsals are weekly.We currently meet at Redland Park Church on Whiteladies Road on Tuesdays between 7pm and 9pm.
