Key feedback:

Outdoor Parties

• Some tenants noted an increase in the frequency and scale of outdoor parties across the warehouses.
• The opportunity to host adhoc events is seen as a positive of the area
• The concern is when a party started with good intention gets taken over and runs through the night.
• The unwritten consensus is that people hosting events should distribute numbers to neighbours in advance and outdoor gatherings should stop or go inside around midnight. 

Outdoor Space

• Units with access to outdoor areas are highly valued, with tenants putting a lot of time and money into maintaining them.
• There was general agreement that all units should have their own ‘Private Communal’ plot near their unit. 
• Some land grabs have been made as different lease holders / tenants arrive which has disrupted areas used previously by tenants.

Cars

• There was divided opinion about whether less car parking space should be available to allow more green / congregating space between the warehouses.
• A car space is seen by some as necessarily for work / lifestyle. Some tenants have given up trying to park on site and instead park elsewhere.
• Others felt a reduction in cars would be an advantage to the area.

Features for Outdoor Space

• Improved signage and maps of the area to improve delivery was seen as a better solution to parcel storage which might attract crime.
• Bins need better containing / positioning for more outdoor congregating to work.
• Communal composting, improved bio diversity of the area (reduction of cars and concrete) and recycling rainwater were also discussed.
• Making the area more sustainable / climate focused was a fairly universal priority.

Sharing Schemes

• The idea of car / van sharing schemes was welcomed, both formal Zip Car schemes or renting out existing vehicles. Concerns about affordability was highlighted.
• Bulk buying items like compost was mentioned. Other items could be included.

Safety

• Some people continue to feel unsafe around Tewkesbury Road, Overbury Road and users of the steps to Seven Sisters Rd.
• Generally agreed the issue was contained to these areas in particular.
• Most people were keen not to see security guards used to address the issue.
• A change from key codes to fobs would make access to units easier (especially at night).
• Discussed possibility of adding Parklets to Tewkesbury Road to stop vans parking heavily in the area.
• Discussed a community meeting with the local businesses to increase awareness / seek possible support.
• Suggestions of improved lighting were made.
