A sense of control – listen again

How can a feeling of ownership allow people to feel invested in their communities for the long term? That was the topic of discussion for The Quality of Life Foundation’s first panel event.

Chaired by Jonny Anstead, Director at TOWN, the panel featured Jo Negrini, Chief Executive at Croydon Council; Vidhya Alakeson, Chief Executive of Power to Change; and Matt Bell, Head of Corporate Affairs at Grosvenor Group.

Panelists shared their views on issues such as the impact of Covid-19 in our communities, how to encourage diversity and equality in the way we control our neighbourhoods, and how to create meaningful public participation in planning processes.
