Are you interested in engaging with the future development of Crouch End? Do you have professional experience to lend? Or perhaps you’re seeking an opportunity to improve your knowledge of planning, development, urban design, conservation, or a whole range of local issues?
Our Working Groups are charged with assessing various aspects of Crouch End and developing the policies that can direct the way our community develops in the future – our Neighbourhood Plan. This is a key opportunity for Crouch Enders to make their voices heard in the process.
Policy work may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but we think creative thinking and chatting about Crouch End should seduce a few of you – and as we’re keen to make it all as painless as possible we’ve organised a Training Session on Monday 18th July (6.30 at Hornsey Town Hall).
Existing members will be attending but we’d be delighted to welcome anyone thinking about getting involved. Drop us an email to book a place or find out more.
The working groups are surveying six broad categories:
Design and character – design, conservation & heritage, public realm, accessibility, development design, shopfronts.
Housing – housing supply, mix & quality.
Environment – environmental sustainability, nature conservation, green & open spaces.
Transport – traffic, public transport, parking, cycling, walking, getting around.
Economy – economic activity, employment, shopping, town centres, leisure, art & culture, regeneration.
Social and community – public infrastructure, health, education, child care, public houses, cultural facilities.
