A small token

They built a gated estate near me, for the posh people. It's such a shame, as they drive up to their electronic gates, the inhabitants have to endure the derisive glances from people who walk and occupy their neighbourhood, it must be awkward.

Someone left this exquisite message by the fence for them.

Community engagement and consultation in Manningham I've just published a couple of reports on pieces of work I did for Bradford Libraries earlier this year, to do with the refurbishment of Manningham Family and Community Library under the Community Libraries Programme. The first was an exercise working with residents to develop their own plan for consultation on the library development. Rather than impose a consultation framework, Bradford Libraries sought to help local people to prepare their own. The second was an open event designed to raise awareness of the refurbishment project, engage with local people and invite them to submit views. I designed a treasure-hunt inside and outside the library, exploiting the presence of the architect and his drawings. This was supplemented with some basic text messaging consultation. The first report is called Ask them. The second is called Manningham Treasures. Previously on this blog: Community engagement by treasure hunt.

More publicity for Living Library Full article by Saba Salman in today's Guardian Society about our recent living library event in Bournemouth. I'm particularly pleased because in the original project (report) I'd been trying to ensure that people with visual and hearing difficulties were included as Books to be borrowed. For this latest event, staff at Bournemouth recruited Julie Duffy, who has been blind since her teens. Julie features in Saba's article and in the sound file. Meanwhile, Linda Constable and I have been asked to be UK representatives for the Living Library movement: more on that in due course. Photograph: Neil Turner
