List members may be interested in the reports on a couple of pieces of work
I did for Bradford Libraries earlier this year, to do with the refurbishment
of Manningham Family and Community Library under the Community Libraries
Programme.
The first was an exercise working with residents to develop their own plan
for consultation on the library development. Rather than impose a
consultation framework, Bradford Libraries sought to help local people to
prepare their own.
The second was an open event designed to raise awareness of the
refurbishment project, engage with local people and invite them to submit
views. We designed a treasure-hunt inside and outside the library,
exploiting the presence of the architect and his drawings. We supplemented
this with some basic text messaging consultation.
The first report is called Ask them:

The second is called Manningham Treasures:
