Empowering residents to shape their areas: developing 15 Minute Neighbourhood Frameworks

London Borough of Waltham Forest

Waltham Forest Council have been co-creating 15 Minute Neighbourhood Frameworks with residents for 5 parts of the borough, with the aim of creating a fairer and more equal 15-minute neighbourhoods
Our approach is innovative in three ways:

We have facilitated a genuine engagement process. The Council have been creating opportunities for residents to take the lead, maximising social value and strengthening local pride.
Engagement has been inclusive and intergenerational. We have sought opportunities to bring all voices to the table at all stages.
We have produced a replicable model that can be tailored to different places’ individual needs and communities.
