So, you came, you saw, you met your neighbours….
And how was it? From the feedback we’ve recieved about our ‘Posh Do’ on the 17th of July, it seems to have been a big success. London Print Studios welcomed around 100 local residents, workers and community leaders for an evening of conversation, debate and friendship. Information was available about the history of ‘Maida Hill’, current developments at Prince of Wales Junction, and the retail improvements planned for Harrow Rd; while council officials and local councillors were available for questions and comments.
We got through a mammoth amount of lovely food, helpfully supplied by a number of local cafes, and a good few boxes of (posh) wine. But it wasn’t just the refreshments that went down well. From 16 to 76, guests got chatting, and new friends and contacts sprang up throughout the room. It was a really great opportunity to make it really clear what the Neighbourhood Partnership is about, and how we’re working to improve the area. It also allowed us to get to know residents on a personal level, and to try and deal with concerns one-to-one in a non formal setting. Most importantly though, it helped us to remember who it is we work for, and to make sure that we’re doing the right stuff to help you out.
Photos from the event, and more details of the conversations that took place, will soon be up on this site and in local media. Due to immensely positive feedback, we’d welcome your suggestions on the form that the next meet the neighbours event should take, and promise to invite you all back for an even bigger and better event next time!
In the meantime, HRNP would like to thank everyone who helped make the evening such a success, particularly all the staff at the London Print Studios, for providing such a wonderful space for us to meet in.
