The Creative Communities team are leading Placemaking activity on behalf of the Vale of Glamorgan Council. Preliminary meetings between the Creative Communities team and Penarth Town Council began in 2023 and we’ve been meeting on a regular basis ever since to develop our joint approach to Placemaking in Penarth and to deliver a Placemaking Plan for the town.
Over the last two years we’ve met with a number of community groups in the town, we've met with the Business Forum and we’ve been out and about meeting with residents of the different neighbourhoods within Penarth, We've also met with local Sports Groups, met with pupils in the local Secondary and Primary Schools and we've worked with out colleagues in the Vale Youth Service to talk to young people attending summer holiday activities in the town. We’ve also attended a number of seasonal community events and throughout the development of the Placemaking Plan, we've made sure that as many residents of Penarth as possible have the chance to share their views about what it’s like to live in Penarth, as well as their ideas about what changes could be made to make Penarth a sustainable town for the future.
Creating the Placemaking Plan
In September 2024 we held a residents drop-in event and evening workshop in the Paget Rooms to canvas residents' opinions on the themes emerging from the engagement up to that point. In October 2024 we appointed Placemaking consultants, Stride Treglown. We have continued to work with Stride Treglown, through a phase of more detailed consultation with some key stakeholder groups across the town, and with their professional expertise and support we have created a Placemaking Plan for the town. Throughout the process we have worked in close collaboration with the Town Council, with the completed Placemaking Plan providing a valuable tool for both levels of Local Government to support the ongoing development of Penarth as a sustainable place to live, work and visit.
