What does ‘clean and pleasant’ mean to Perivale – collective statements and emerging ideas
As part of the development of Your Voice, Your Town in Perivale, residents, businesses, faith and community organisations took part in a workshop at Perivale Hive, where people shared their project ideas and their thoughts on what a ‘clean and pleasant area’ means to them.
The groups created a series of ‘collective statements’ to help shape how Your Voice, Your Town Perivale could help communities take action to create a more ‘clean and pleasant’ Perivale. These statements have been used by Perivale’s Town Team, to set the criteria for future community-led projects. They are not exhaustive but provide valuable insights about what matters most to local residents and communities.
If you are inspired by the collective statements, you might want to apply to the Your Voice, Your Town Pride in Perivale Community Fund where money is available for projects that will help make Perivale clean and pleasant – find out more <LINK>.
