News on Swiss Cottage Open Space

Hi Everyone,

Swiss Cottage Open Space Improvements Update:

The Round 3 Community Engagement period closed on the Friday 11 November 2022. During this 5 week engagement period, 2x in-person events were held at the Open space where consultants LUC and Council officers were on hand to share and discuss the latest concept design ideas for the new Swiss Cottage open space. A summary report capturing all of the feedback received is available to view below and via the Swiss Cottage open Space commonplace website.

As part of the Round 3 engagement the Council commissioned this short film, made with local young people and supported by the Winch, which captures the in-person engagement event and some of the views of local young people about the improvement project.

Next Steps

We will now develop the designs presented to respond to comment received from the local community. We will be considering feedback from nearby residents, community groups and adjoining organisations as well as ensuring the design considers management and maintenance requirements. This will help ensure the improvements meet a range of local needs and are sustainable/manageable to the Council's management teams.

Will share our developing ideas with you as part of the Round 4 community engagement/presentation which is expected to take place in Summer 2023. We will now review the findings from this round of engagement and develop the design proposals further.

You can find out more about the project including the next steps via the Swiss Cottage open Space commonplace website.

Thank you to everyone that took the time to provide comments on the proposals.
