Over the last year and a half we have delivered engagement events on streets, in schools, at youth clubs and community meetings to hear your views on how to make the Deptford Parks Liveable Neighbourhood area ‘healthier’ for the people who live, work and travel through it. We have spoken to as many people as possible during this time, and heard from many more via this commonplace website.It has been a fascinating journey and we want to thank everyone who has shared their views so far.What happens next?We have heard what you have had to say and we have developed proposals to reflect your feedback. We are now publicly consulting on these proposals. Please follow this <a href="https://consultation.lewisham.gov.uk/regeneration-and-place/dpln/">link</a> to view these designs and comment. This is a public consultation and will run from November 4th until 3rd January 2020 so please share widely! Please note you will not be able to comment on the commonplace site, only on the LBL website provided. After consultationAfter this consultation closes, a consultation report will be produced, outlining what the London Borough of Lewisham will be pursuing. This will lead to detailed designs being produced, with the aim to implement these designs towards the end of 2020. <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco,w_1024/v1572873088/projects/deptfordparks/e486cf69-6b9c-4a6a-8e4b-288211c1e291.jpg" />

Thank you to all who have contributed!

The Woodpecker Walk Co- Design engagement has come to an end. The boards have been taken down and the content from both the ‘discover’ and ‘codesign’ boards have been collated. We have assembled some wonderful contributions, thoughts and themes throughout this engagement and we want to say THANK YOU to all who came down and got involved. In particular a huge thanks to Woodpecker Youth Club, Iriee Dance, Deptford Folk, Lewisham Cyclists and all local residents, businesses and faith groups who gave their time to participate in this project. <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco,w_1024/v1568741499/projects/deptfordparks/142cdf05-8e6b-4bd3-83a7-2996aae519cf.jpg" />All of the information is now being gathered together and will be passed on to the design team, contributing to public realm improvements in the area. There will be a formal consultation in October about these designs which we will promote far and wide!Excitingly, the story gathering for Tom Berry’s Art Trail has now also come to an end. Throughout this research, Tom heard an incredible range of fascinating, insightful and often very surprising stories of Deptford. According to Tom, it was a challenge to whittle down these great testimonies of the area into just 20 art installations, but it has now been done and the works are beginning. Watch this space!<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco,w_1024/v1568741562/projects/deptfordparks/d7d1285f-d105-4a9e-9906-af927fb7b56f.jpg" />
