VALLEY GARDENS 3
PUBLIC CONSULTATION REPORT
November 2020
Introduction
Works for phases 1 and 2 of Valley Gardens were completed in Summer 2020. The design for improvements for the third phase of the Valley Gardens project, Old Steine to Palace Pier roundabout started in Summer 2018.
An initial scoping consultation exercise was carried out in June 2018 to gather views as to how the area is used, what issues there are in travelling around in the area, and priorities for improvements to the area. Results from this were fed into the design process for Phase 3. Four Options were proposed. A second public consultation on the outline preferred design took place in October 2018, and results from this were used to develop a final design, which was approved by the council’s Environment, Transport and Sustainability Committee in February 2019. It was agreed to consult on the finer details of this approved design. This report presents the methodology and the results of the third public consultation exercise.
Methodology
A questionnaire was designed and set up to run online via the council’s consultation portal. Information booklets were sent to 2351 addresses with a link to the survey. Paper copies were available on request, together with freepost reply envelopes.
The consultation was also publicised via the council’s website (including extensive information on the Valley Gardens Project pages). Social media was particularly successful in spreading the word via the council’s main Twitter feed and also the Transport and Parking Twitter feed. Details of the consultation were made available to members of the local Transport Partnership Meetings, and sent to local interest groups.
As this consultation took place during the Covid-19 pandemic no exhibition events were held and information posters were not distributed to be displayed in public buildings.
