Community Consultation

Brighton Council engaged PlayStreet to lead the community consultation for the redevelopment of Lennox Park, with the goal of creating a space that reflects the aspirations of local residents, families, and community groups.

To ensure meaningful input, Brighton Council identified key stakeholders and worked closely with PlayStreet to develop a tailored engagement strategy. This included a mix of online surveys and in-person activities, resulting in strong community participation—especially during the co-design day, which saw excellent turnout and enthusiastic contributions.
