Our day chatting to 150 people Bearwood Indoor Market.
It was a cold February day, the first of the month. Quite sunny, but nevertheless a chilly one. Thank goodness we had our volunteer Town Crier George to generate a bit of interest!
A group of about 8 volunteers (thank you everyone!) managed to chat to over 150 people that day and Alex Hughes from Drawnalism captured so many of the ideas on his beautiful graphics, take a look below. Now all we need to do is bring this and all the other ideas for changes, outcomes and activities together to prioritise them and consider how the space at St Mary’s could be best used to enable some of these wonderful ideas. Good job we’ve got community workshops with awesome community project architects Intervention Architects coming up - keep 27th Feb in your diary for that one, afternoon and evening will be on offer.
What’s your priority? How would having a community space on the high street change life in Bearwood? let us know!
Here are Alex’s drawings:
