WORKING WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY
The Community Liaison Group represents the neighbouring business, residential and political communities impacted by these works. Together, we’ve planned for the utility investigation and diversion works to be carried out in a way that minimises impacts.
As we move from planning to delivery, we’ll establish communication channels to share project updates and important information with the local community. We’ll also communicate more widely to promote that our neighbouring businesses are open and communicate changes to road layouts.
We’ll be developing a range of activities to keep the public space around construction sites bright and pleasant and support local businesses:
• Hoardings can be used for aesthetic purposes, depending on site-specific factors, different materials can be used. We’ll be seeking feedback from local businesses on hoarding designs.
• Business support activities – business packs, maps, directories, events and promotional campaigns will be considered as part of support package to be developed with neighbouring businesses.
• Street cleaning – daily street cleaning will be carried out around the sites to ensure all spaces around the sites are kept clean and tidy, and free of any debris.
As a neighbouring business or resident, expect to hear from us through:
• Construction updates
• Meet the Alliance events
• Newsletters
• Face to face information pop-ups like this one!
OTHER WAYS WE’LL KEEP PEOPLE INFORMED
• Hoardings – Protective barriers around work sites can also be used for information purposes. Our hoardings will be used to communicate information about the works and promote surrounding businesses as accessible and open. They will provide neighbourhood wayfinding, directing people where to go to access local businesses and services.
• Wayfinding –Site wayfinding complements the wayfinding on hoardings by providing a finer level of detail, for example signs giving detour instructions for people moving around the site.
• Campaigns – We’ll promote significant changes to the road layout through wider information campaigns that include social media.
