For the past few months, CAG has been supporting Croydon Council on an ambitious project to engage the residents of the Addiscombe neighbourhood in addressing critical issues concerning through traffic, road safety, and active travel. The project aims to understand the community’s concerns, facilitate constructive dialogue, and co-create actionable solutions.
CAG initially ran a number of community drop-in sessions, followed by co-design sessions where residents collaborated to identify practical solutions. These were highly successful, receiving positive feedback from participants and resulting in a series of measures that residents wanted to see implemented. You can read more about our approach in this case study.
The engagement process facilitated by CAG is set to have a lasting impact on the Addiscombe community. The council is now working with technical consultants to assess the feasibility of the proposed measures. CAG continues to support the council in maintaining communication with the community, ensuring transparency and ongoing collaboration as the measures are developed and implemented. The council has also asked CAG to lead a wider public consultation process on the measures to be introduced.
