Devonshire Square Market & Feedback

A big thank you to all the people who made it out to the market on Devonshire Square last Saturday (despite the inclement weather!) - to support local traders and businesses, and share their feedback and ideas on the future design of the Square.

Key take-aways included:

• A collective space is needed to create a stronger sense of community
• The Square needs a clear identity - some signage or other feature will make the location recognizable.
• The square should be level, open, welcoming; and easy to find and access
• It would be great to expand the current uses of the Square, to include live entertainment, screenings of film and major sport event, flower markets
• When having live events, being respectful and considerate of businesses/houses near the square is important
• People would like to see more greenery and plants on the Square

Hayatsu - the architects designing Devonshire Square, really enjoyed meeting everyone, hearing their feedback and ideas; and having the opportunity to learn more about the area. The feedback gathered on Saturday will inform the stage of the design process, which we will share in early May.

Huge thanks to Palmers Green Action team and Arbeit for their amazing organisation and delivery of the Community and Makers markets.
