Why Places Matter - new booklet for local councils and communities
Submitted by Louise Dredge
We're delighted to share with you a new booklet we have contributed to - Why Places Matter - which makes the case for giving communities a voice in shaping their places.
Produced by Living Streets with the People and Places Coalition, of which The Glass-House is a member, the booklet is being sent to all councils in England and offers a practical manifesto for councillors and communities on how they can transform the places where they live.
The booklet also includes signposting to useful information and tools that can help communities and local councils work together effectively to shape their neighbourhoods.
The People and Places Coalition was convened by Living Streets and includes Age UK, English Heritage, Keep Britain Tidy, Civic Voice, the Cabe team at Design Council, Sustrans and The Glass-House.

We had an excellent day and the places we visited were amazingly close to what we are trying to create here in Stockwell. I am grateful for your acute interest in what we have to say
Can I once again thank Glass-House for all their help and interest. You are an excellent organisation – and the staff are lovely as well!”
The training experience was extremely enjoyable and very informative. We have come away with a design which we feel we can put into reality and the training was probably the best I have attended.
The course was excellent and I can't thank you and Glass-House enough for the support you've given us, it has made all the difference to the way we look at the project."
