Building Bayswater Update

Thanks to everyone who got involved in the broad community engagement phase of Building Bayswater including the focus groups, quick polls and online mapping.

The next stage of the Building Bayswater engagement process is the Community Panel.

There has been a lot of interest in the panel, with 314 expressions of interest (EOI) received from the 10,000 randomly selected community members invited to participate.

Our Community Panel is limited to 40 members, so to involve as many of those 314 community members as possible, we have added on more engagement activity to our process.

Everyone who expressed an interest in the panel has been invited to participate in an online discussion forum about the themes and ideas that arouse from the broader community engagement. The online forum allows for a complex discussion in which participants can express ideas and values and respond by commenting or rating the ideas and values expressed by others in the online forum.

The information gathered in the forum will be presented as part of the Community Panel on 24 February and 10 March 2018.

The final 40 panel members were chosen by an independent selector as a stratified random sample representing the City’s demographics.
