Launch of co-design process for Bayswater Children's Centre and Ernest Harriss House community hubs

Starting on Monday 19th February at Westminster Academy, Westminster City Council will be working in partnership with around 50 to 60 residents and partner organisations to co-design community hubs in Bayswater and Maida Vale wards.

Supported by Mutual Gain, Lynch Architects and Atkins Realis, the workshops will identify community priorities which each hub should respond to, and shape plans for their design, what they will offer and how they will be run. 

Residents were selected at random by the Sortition Foundation, with additional representatives and partner organisations applying to participate through an open process. However, regular updates will be posted on the Commonplace platform so that the wider community and stakeholders can also feed into the process.

The workshops will run until April, with a final report and recommendations produced shortly afterwards.
