PART ONE: TRAFFIC WORKSHOP

Presentation of the Key Evidence Review Board (KERB) report on Bradford on Avon’s traffic issues

 

Councillor Simon McNeil-Ritchie, Trevor Bedeman, Nigel Gerdes

 

Groups on tables make lists of issues. These are recorded by them on individual rectangles of card, one per issue. They are then pinned up on a series of boards around the room.

 

The organisers group the issues, but allowing for dissent if needed.

 

The groups on tables vote for the issues individually using ‘money’ counters in denominations of 1 – 5. We believe that the range of distributions expressed from large to very small are all of value.

 

Then the groups on tables record outcomes “what does good look like”, again on individual rectangles of card. These are pinned up as the session ends.

Minutes:

A presentation was given by Simon McNeil-Ritchie and Trevor Bedeman on the findings of the Key Evidence Review Board (KERB) report on Bradford on Avon’s traffic issues.

 

A Workshop was then held to unpack the report and to discuss its findings. Facilitated groups at tables discussed and ranked the issues affecting the town (solutions were not permitted!). These were pinned up on the wall. The issues were then grouped. All voted up to 5 times each for issues according to perceived importance. A tally was made of the voting and outcomes were shared.

 

All groups were then asked to record “what a good outcome for the town would look like”.

 

A report on this and two subsequent workshops will be issued by the Town Council.
