“The insights available tell interesting stories about our community and their interests. We had not foreseen it as being as valuable as it in informing our other services.”

Melissa FlemmingProject Officer, Westminster City Council

Olly Davies
“The Heatmap was a brilliant way of getting people to tell us what they thought with as broad a brush as possible… I think being able to put a pin in the map and just write what you thought broke down a communication barrier for a lot of people.”

“Our bid was voted 8th out of the 75 that were approved in England. 305 were submitted in total. We definitely think our success is down to the quality of the community engagement that occurred.”

Wandsworth Council
“Whilst night life is an integral part of London as a city, our purpose for this strategy is much wider. We have sought to understand the intricacies of the night time as it changes and identify services that could be provided or improved.”
