Minutes:
Susie Wilson and Rob Deck from Lend Lease attended to tell residents about the Elephant and Castle regeneration. Susie explained that 70 organisations had been contacted. A forum was being established to discuss plans for Elephant and Castle and the first meeting was being planned for 26 May, invitations would be sent to key groups in the week beginning 9 May. It was expected that the forum would exist for the lifetime of the project. There were also plans to hold a public exhibition to showcase some initial plans in June or July.
Residents asked if the list of organisations being contacted would be made available and whether there would be opportunities for the community to talk directly to the architects and planners involved in the project so they could understand their aspirations for the development. In response Susie explained that the list of the organisations contacted would go on the new website. Rob thought it was a good idea for architects and planners to meet the community and thoughts that the forum and public exhibition would be good opportunities to do this.
