Residents Vote for Home Zone
Written 24/02/03
I attach a chart showing the results of the voting by residents of Gravits Lane and Ivydale Road as to whether they wished to proceed with the design process to implement a Home Zone in their street. As you can see, there is now an overwhelming majority in favour of the home zone. This exceeds the very rigorous criterion set at the most recent steering group meeting of 75% of all households in the affected parts of these streets to return a positive response. Only 4 households voted against.
Accordingly, arrangements are now being made for the first design workshops with residents, to take place on the evening of Monday 10 March and the morning of Tuesday 11 March. These workshops will discuss ideas for an outline conceptual design for the street. They will be led by urban designer Joe Marchant of Lacey Hickie Caley consultants. Staff of Social Research Associates and West Sussex County Council will also be present to facilitate and assist.
Invitations to attend the workshops will be sent out to home zone residents and the relevant interested parties once the details of venue and times have been confirmed.
These will be the first in a programme of workshops and other consultation & participation events as we move through the design process over the following months.
