  1. One Norbiton Working Together: Evaluation Dr Heidi Seetzen Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Kingston University

  2. What is the evaluation about? • Experience of stakeholders so far • Community engagement • Wider structural context • what has proved helpful/less helpful • Potential challenges & tensions • What are the aims of One Norbiton: hopes & expectations • Emerging vision • What might success look like?

  3. Qualitative Issues -Qualitative Research • Mixture of methods: • Desktop Research • Focus groups & interviews • Participant Observation

  4. Challenges • Local Context • each pathfinder area is different • different needs • different experiences of community • Evaluation:… against what? • flexibility • community-led • open

  5. Other case studies Deptford CreeksideEvaluation Project (CUCR) Convoys Wharf and Convoys Opportunity (Seetzen) Handmade Spaces: Bonnington Square (Gullino & Seetzen)

  6. Challenges of partnership They [Lambeth council] have helped us get new trees planted. When I came here everyone was really anti-Lambeth council: ‘Oh you can’t deal with them’. But I deal with them really well, but i do have a knack for doing that […] The thing is if you have meetings with Lambeth council it can’t just be me talking to you. It has to be multi-departmental, we have to get them involved and them involved. … it’s all official speak and you can’t have a normal conversation. (Interview Vauxhall Resident, 2010)

  7. We actually got on better with the business reps on the board. At least they were normal people you could talk to. The programme is between two boroughs so, and it was just this administrative overkill. Not only, I mean Lewisham and Greenwich don’t get on anyway. And there were all these procedures. When I was applying for funding I couldn’t get up and explain my project, I was there but someone else had to present it for me. Nonsense like that. (Interview Deptford Community Forum, 2001)

  8. Different time-zones • Deptford Creekside SRB (South East London) • Complaints concerning the timing of community consultation • Community needs time to formulate their own vision • Convoys Wharf Development (South East London) • Concerns about being presented with ‘finished’ plans • “The thing needs time to grow” • Potential of LIS in this context…

  9. Importance of being involved in the shaping of your neighbourhood?

  10. Handmade Spaces (Seetzen & Gullino)

  11. Handmade Spaces: Gullino & Seetzen

  12. Handmade spaces: Gullino & Seetzen It was very exciting. There was a really good spirit. I mean we were the first in. And I mean when I lived in Vine Lodge everything had been completely stripped. The plumbing everything. There was just floor boards. There was no pipes. Although the telephone was on.[…] all we had in Vine Lodge was a cold tap in the yard. That was all we had. So we ended up breaking into other houses to get stuff. A bath, a toilet […] It was all pretty hairy plumbing and stuff. But we did it ourselves. (Interview - February 2010)

  13. Handmade Spaces: Gullino & Seetzen • As soon as you moved in you wanted to start helping out, getting rid of rubble, helping people out. • It seemed like a challenge to do something with the place […] We made a few mistakes […]but we worked things out. […] You know what squats are like. You’re very on top of each other, but with a good spirit: Do up the houses, protect the houses, do the tree planting and so on. • I don’t know why it is important [that we did things ourselves]. It’s not about ownership erm or responsibility. It’s just important that we did that. That I can say the planting on that corner. I did that, and I do feel very protective of it, if someone wants to mess about with it. […]but no its not ownerhsip.
