Axis Design were appointed by Beth Johnson Group to undertake a consultation and masterplanning role for General Renewal Area of approximately 200 households.
Alongside the standard methods of enquiry we provided a basic web site using ‘off-the-shelf’ IT solutions to enhance the reach of the consultation process.
Developed in unison with face to face public events, the web site provided a forum for both the appraisal of issues and publication of design proposals in order to receive votes.
The proposals that form the final report put forward to Renew North Staffordshire range from site specific residential and commercial interventions, to area wide initiatives for community support roles.
Input from hard to reach groups such as the youth community was sought by overseeing a photography competition that encouraged commentary through images.
Door to door deliveries of newsletters, mail-shots and postal voting was used to ensure a greater degree of participation from residents.
