Fairlop Waters Consultation – Our Freedom of Information Request

On 1st October 2022 AHDA made a Freedom of Information Request regarding the public consultation or engagement and outreach as Redbridge later called it.

We asked:

  1. We wish to know how many consultations and outreach sessions were held for the public from the 31st May 2022 till 1st October 2022.
  2. How many of the sessions were held and the dates?
  3. How many of the sessions were face to face?
  4. How many were online?
  5. How many people responded face to face or at the drop in sessions?
  6. How many people responded online?
  7. What preventable measures were taken against people responding multiple times either at the drop in sessions or online?
  8. How many consultants were available at each session?

The full answer can be seen here the main responses were:

  1. 10 in person consultations were held between 31st May 2022 and 1st Oct 2022
  2. Drop Ins were held:
    18 August Wilderness Street, Oakfield Rd, Ilford,
    24 August Wanstead Disability Festival, Wanstead,
    24 September Wilderness Street, Oakfield Rd, Ilford,
    25 September Fairlop Waters ,
    1 October Spark Lab, Ilford
    Outreach sessions were held at Fairlop Waters
    24 August, 25 August, 18 September, 24 September, 25 September
  3. 10
  4. An engagement report is in preparation which will include this
    information. 
  5. An engagement report is in preparation which will include this
    information. 
  6. An engagement report is in preparation which will include this information
  7. A choice was made not to limit the number of responses on the online survey from the same IP address, as this would restrict people from the same family or from those using a public computer. There were a limited number of responses from identical IP addresses which seemed to be from different members of a family. These responses shared different views
  8. A minimum of 2 at each Outreach
    (number of consultatants at Drop ins was not provided)

According to ‘Fairlop Waters Consultation’ the Phase 4 – Masterplan Engagement is not yet complete.

The page was last updated 12 Oct 2022.

We can only assume that either further consultation will take place during the now delayed Local Plan or an update will be made around that time.
