Our Engagement Methods

Lambeth Council prioritises collaboration, experimentation, and imagination in the design of the borough’s streets. The Community Street Design team aims to involve all local people and organisations in this design process, whether this be coming up with an idea or sketch, to helping build and test designs in real life on Lambeth’s streets.

We use 5 core principles to engage with the borough’s diverse range of stakeholders:  

Identify: Scoping out a project area, conducting initial research, identifying issues and opportunities with local people.

Design: Collaborative process working with local people to develop imaginative ideas that can be tested to improve the public realm.

Inform: Sharing clear information at regular intervals. Ensuring we are transparent on timelines and decision processes.   

Empower: Upskilling individuals and community groups to take ownership of the development, use and maintenance of different projects.  

Learn: Evaluating projects and ideas including through ‘formal consultation’.
