Community Street Audits

WHY A COMMUNITY STREET AUDIT?

Streets and public spaces are most successful when your residents have the opportunity to influence decisions about them, and effective involvement is a sure fire way to reap the benefits of a good community relationship. But getting the best from local engagement can be a challenge. At Living Streets, we have years of experience of successfully working with local stakeholders to inform practical improvements on the ground and plans for the future.

Community Street Audits are a way to evaluate the quality of streets and spaces from the viewpoint of the people who use them, rather than those who manage them. We involve small groups of local residents, traders, councillors and officers to assess a route on foot, following which a detailed report is produced with recommendations.
