HAVE YOUR SAY ON THE SPACES AROUND US
The Linmere Masterplan is to create a place where wellbeing is prioritised and outdoor living becomes a way of live. Residents will never be more than 5 minutes walk from public green space.
As these green and active spaces evolve over the next few years, it’s important to bring residents into the process and help shape the environments that encourage those living here to get outside and use them.
Linmere are partnering with the University of Bedfordshire and PHD student Olivia Flemons, in a project which will explore ways of connecting with residents to improve meaningful physical activity, physical wellbeing through active landscaping and social connections.
By making Linmere the focus of research, the hope is to create an approach we can apply to Linmere ourselves and for the University of Bedfordshire to take to other communities around the UK and help more communities develop active local environments.
For Linmere and Linmere’s Masterplan, this is a novel and innovative project which provides an opportunity to demonstrate our collective ambitions – that Linmere is a place to live, not just somewhere to buy a house. Furthermore, it shows that we’re not here just to sell front doors, but help residents form an active, thriving community.
Focus group research
The next focus group will be held at the Farmstead Halls on Tuesday 27 February, from 7–8:30pm. To register your interest in taking part, please use the link on the panel below, to email Olivia Flemons, our research leader. We warmly welcome anyone joining us to have their say!
