ENGAGEMENT DESIGN

We designed engagement to throw the net widely and listen deeply. We started with a public consultation at the Millennium Centre and had a 6 month information display there. We had a Huddle with partners to identify stakeholders. We had a week-long information stall at the busy Ryan Centre. We set up stall in the town centre. We met people where they’re at... in clubs, groups, at school, in college. We carried out depth conversations with scores of key stakeholders. Once we’d gathered information on issues and potential solutions: the Five Strands we talk about. We ran a Co-Lab ballot to vote on priorities. The Town Team formed to shape the Five Strands into Four Quarters... core ideas for the town’s transformation. We’re taking this Plan back to a 28 day consultation and using Citizen Space to rank priorities.
