JOINING THE DOTS……..
‘Joining the dots’ is a Mayor of London commissioned study of the Crystal Palace area, focusing on Upper Norwood, Anerley and Penge.
The Mayor of London has commissioned 00 to carry out a study across Upper Norwood, Anerley and Penge with a view to documenting and sharing the richness of the area, understanding of priorities across the five boroughs, and clarifying how locally-led initiatives can be strengthened and supported.
00 say: “The aim of the study is to better understand local priorities, to document and share the richness of the area, and to explore opportunities for regeneration which build on existing riches, ideas, and proposals gleaned from meaningful community dialogue.
“During this time, we’d like to invite and test ideas for the areas with a cross-section of local people, groups, organisations and local councillors and officers from the boroughs.
“We’ll be hosting drop-in conversations, meetings, open workshops and events for the next month, so there will be many opportunities to get involved.
“We wanted you to be aware of ongoing opportunities to be part of discussions over the next month, so here is a breakdown of what we’re up to, and when:
