I.e. to promote regeneration or to bring the community together? <BR/><BR/>Sometimes things do not integrate well. If you compromise (left-ish perspective)then you lack the prospect of significant change in a particular direction. Therefore I would argue for the purpose of regeneration, you need to involve the community less and bring in experts.<BR/><BR/>However,... if the aim was to intergrate the community at the expense of significant regeneration, then its fine to get the school involved.<BR/><BR/>Not saying what is better or worse at this stage, but merely you cannot do things like this if you want to promote significant regeneration.<BR/><BR/>Is that any clearer?

Not everything is about community involvement. If this was meant for 'regeneration' purposes then it isn't really appropriate to go to the community for a solution becuase guess what? The community will be different in a few years time.(if regeneration does indeed happen) .<BR/><BR/> This is a stumbling block, not a solution.

Instead of being taken seriously as an urban regeneration. I admit it looks much better than it was for now, but not all public projects have to be the 'Blue Peter' school of community involvement.<BR/><BR/>However - as I said before congrats to Millie - and thanks to her for her idea.Tressillian Jamesnoreply@blogger.com
