News on Down Lane Park Improvement

Thank you to everyone who shared their thoughts on plans for early-stage designs for Down Lane Park. In total, we welcomed 100 people to three in-person engagement events and received 134 responses to the online survey. You can now read a summary of resident and park user feedback and advice on early stage park designs provided during public consultation Oct -Dec 2022.

We recognised that several groups were under-represented during our engagement to date, including a very low level of participation from younger residents. Initial steps to address this included running three further in-person workshops during November and December 2022 with young people at Welbourne Primary and Harris Academy Tottenham, where over 500 surveys were completed and a playground pop-up event took place.

The two Engagement Summary reports published on-line provide a short form, info-graphic based summary, and a longer form, more textual and more detailed summary. These reports summarise the findings from contributions provided to date. This will be fed into the co-design journey and inform a developed design for the park.

There will be further targeted engagement with under-represented residents and park users, and a second round of public engagement around the updated design in Spring 2023.
