The WLSP have recently received feedback from the Government on Wandsworth's first Neighbourhood Renewal Strategy. The Government Office for London (GOL) praises the WLSP for a clear and well set-out NRS that provides a "good foundation on which to build future activity".

You can read the full letter from GOL here. A response to this letter was tabled at the WLSP meeting on the 21st November 2002 and can be read here. Both documents are in pdf format.

Wandsworth Council Press Release

16th September 2002
As part of the Neighbourhood Renewal Strategy (NRS) Roehampton consultation programme, The WLSP wanted to seek Young People's views on their local area and ways which it could be improved for them. In March 2002, several students from the Elliot School in West Putney were asked to take part in a web-based consultation exercise called the Elliot School Forum. We specifically asked about their thoughts on youth facilities and how their local environment could be improved.

The results of the Elliot School Forum, which now form part of the NRS, can be viewed by clicking here. The overall results of the Roehampton Consultation Programme have been used to inform the spending of £900,000 Neighbourhood Renewal Funds and the future direction of the NRS. You can view the latest draft of Wandsworth's NRS by clicking here.

The photos below show some of the Elliot School Forum participants when they presented their results to the WLSP meeting in June 2002. Please click on the photos to enlarge.
