The
regeneration of Oliver Bond House is a significant infrastructure project with
real potential to improve the welfare of residents of Oliver Bond House, and,
along with the development of Bridgefoot Street Park and other proposed local
improvements, shift the narrative on the entire South West Inner City.
The
engagement of a variety of stakeholders in the regeneration conversation
provides opportunities for the voice of a community which feels traditionally
underserved and unrepresented to be considered and valued. As such the outcome
of the regeneration conversation will extend beyond the physical implementation
of a large capital infrastructure project- a positive process has the capacity
to redefine the tenant-landlord relationship and create a new generation of
engaged community leaders among residents of Oliver Bond House.
Robert
Emmet CDP has observed a real willingness among residents of Oliver Bond House
to engage constructively with local stakeholders over the past year and are
honoured and excited by the opportunity to foster this further and support
residents to play a part in the delivery of a truly transformative regeneration
process over coming years.
