Creative community engagement in Reading

Earlier this year, the Reading HSHAZ team, with support from urban design practice Feria Urbanism, conducted a series of on-site public engagement encounters across the three conservation areas in Reading town centre – Oxford Road, St Mary’s Butts & Castle Street and Market Place & London Street.

Oxford Road

St Mary’s Butts and Castle Street

Market Place & London Street

You may have encountered the team with their big wooden board, covered with ideas and suggestions for change? The team were also making audio recordings so you may have seen them with their microphone and headphones!

The purpose of these encounters was to gather information from people in the street to better understand what changes people would like to see in in these three heritage areas. The team now wish to share their research with a wider audience through this dedicated website. You can listen to what people had to say and have your say by completing the short survey questions.

 

This is just the start.
