Creating a liveable neighbourhood that's accessible to all

A well-designed liveable neighbourhood scheme optimises outdoor space so it can be enjoyed by everyone in the community. The panel will discuss how we can create a liveable neighbourhood scheme in Hanover and Tarner that improves the lives of all, particularly our most vulnerable residents: the young, the elderly and people with disabilities. There will be an opportunity for questions from attendees following the presentations.

Speakers:

Brenda Peuch, an inclusive design consultant, currently working on an Equality Impact Assessment for low traffic neighbourhoods in an inner London borough.

Chantal Spencer, MSc Sustainable Design student at Brighton University, focusing on inclusivity; disability and inclusion activist; and mobility scooter user.

Pearl Ahrens, a transport planning consultant in London as well as chair of London Cycling Campaign's policy forum. Pearl grew up in Hanover.

Katy Rodda, a ward resident and transport planning postgraduate. Her key interests are: accessible and inclusive active travel; safe independent mobility for children and young people; and streetplay.

The event will be hosted by Elaine Hills (councillor for Hanover and Elm Grove). Oliver Spratley, principal transport planner at Brighton and Hove City Council, will also be available to take questions on the pilot project and accessibility.
