Local and site-specific projects: £20,000 - £50,000

	Growing Room >> A six month process consulting with over 120 local people over 5 boroughs surrounding the Hertford Road captured a sense of the value local people placed on their open green spaces and parks and informed the Highways department on future decisions including developing a new Neighbourhood Park and open green space.
	South Oxhey Book >> 800 copies of the book featuring voices from local people, the majority of whom did not use the existing library facility, were distributed around houses on the South Oxhey Ward. The books contents went on to inform the new development of the library which now acts as a diverse community centre with a variety of services.
	Stevenage Town Centre Gardens >> A three phase process to develop the historic gardens, resuled in £2 million match funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund to develop the gardens, an Audience Development Plan and Friends Group. This new approach to master planning through the creation of place making teams positively built on local issues of use and ownership.
	EN10 >> A three month residency by artist Simon Honey consulted with immediate residents regarding the future development of the Wormely Community Centre, and demonstrated to designers and decision makers that the communities needs were pragmatic and cost affective.
