Estate Project Shortlisted for Community Involvement LGC Award
Greenwich council might win the Community Involvement LGC Award for their efforts at Woolwich Common Estate. Averil Lekau praised the improvements at Woolwich Common Estate, noting the council’s hard work.
The project improved residents’ mood and physical health, while also fostering a stronger sense of community.
The award emphasizes teamwork with residents in designing services that address community needs. The Woolwich Common Estate project inspired local people to control security and appearance of their estate, with the council collaborating with GCDA and DG Cities.
For a year, locals participated in gardening, learned new skills, and collected 10.5 tons of trash. TARU Arts conducted workshops with families to create artwork from recycled materials, now adorning the estate.
The council installed more trash cans to reduce litter and illegal dumping, and increased safety patrols in response to reported problems with bad behavior. Rachel Taggart-Ryan emphasized the project’s success, showing how councils and residents can collaboratively address real issues.
Residents now feel safer due to cleaner spaces and increased patrols, creating a sense of security on their estate.
The LGC Awards winners will be announced on June 11 at a ceremony at Grosvenor House.
