Designing the Healthy Neighbourhood 

When designing Healthy Neighbourhood improvements, we look at pre-trial data, the Equalities Impact Report, and feedback from the community. 

What we hear from residents, businesses, and community groups, both the challenges and the opportunities, helps us understand how people use the streets. We focus on real experiences—like the routes people prefer to cycle, places where they've felt at risk from cars, or where they've seen unsafe driving. We also look at streets that feel unsafe at night or spots where older people struggle with cluttered pavements or need more time to cross. 

For businesses, we think about delivery times, customer access, and ways to make it easier for people to walk, wheel, scoot, or cycle to them. We consider feedback from protected groups, like disabled people or young families, and what they need to move around the neighbourhood more easily, such as having more places to sit and rest on the way to local shops. 

By taking all these insights into account, we develop a design which we believe best meets the Healthy Neighbourhood goals and the community’s unique needs. 

Design Report and engagement 

We use everything we discovered in the previous stages to create a Design Report. This report explains what we've learnt and how that's helped shape the Healthy Neighbourhood trial. We will publish this report and reach out to the local community and key groups for feedback. These comments will help us determine if the plan meets the goals of the trial and addresses the community's needs. 

Final Design and Decision Report 

We take in the comments and feedback to our design report and make changes where needed, producing the final design that will be implemented as the Healthy Neighbourhood trial. 

This design will be made public through a Decision Report.
