Open feedback session from 4-5pm this Saturday 19th July at 6 Havelock Walk (off London Road)
This
Saturday the Forest Hill Society and SEE3 are organising a creative
workshop for local architects and designers to develop ideas for
improving Forest Hill Town Centre. At the end of the workshop there will
be an open feedback session for the wider community to come and find
out what we have been up to, to hear about the ideas, to ask
questions, and input into our emerging town centre vision.
The workshop is intentionally about
looking broadly at the identity of the town centre, key sites
(including the station, Perry Vale and Dartmouth Road) and any areas
which could benefit from improvement or change. Over the course of the
day the teams attending will help define some of the problems in the
town centre and start to develop creative ideas for solving some of
them. This workshop will be focusing on physical issues and spaces
rather than building uses and what goes on inside of the buildings.
The
results of the workshop will be published over the summer and we hope
they can be used to help support applications for funding to improve the
town centre as well as encouraging private developers to make investments and
improvements.
Everyone involved in the day is
volunteering their time to help Forest Hill and the town centre and we
would really love to have wider support from the community. If you have
any questions please email hilary@fhsoc.com
Please come along between 4pm and 5pm and see what we come up with.
