Redbridge Women’s Design Group

Almost a year ago to the day the BBC reported that our towns and cities are not designed for women.

To address this dysfunction the Women’s Design Service have set up a Women’s Design Group in Redbridge as part of a London Councils funded project and are looking for local women to get involved.

The aim of the Group is to influence major planning applications, policies and regeneration projects in Redbridge to ensure that women’s interests are taken into account.
Women’s Design Groups perform for gender what Access Groups delivered for disability, and ‘women proof’ local plans, policies and planning applications. WDGs include both women from the community who have an interest in shaping their neighbourhoods, and women who are professionally involved in planning and the built environment. The Group will include a diverse range of women from different age, disability, ethnicity, sexuality and caring backgrounds.
A range of training will be offered to enable women to participate fully in the Group including influencing town planning issues and sustainability.

Contact Georgia Wrighton, Community Development Worker via email or 020 7490 5210 if you would be interested in joining the Group, or you are a planning professional who would like to assist with the Group.
