As part of our community engagement task, we visited Stockport to gather insights from local residents about arts, craft, and cultural opportunities in the area.

During the session, we spoke directly with members of the public, asking them what they would like to see introduced or improved in terms of cultural activities. This included suggestions for creative spaces, events, and community-led initiatives.

To make the process interactive and place-based, members of the public were also invited to mark locations on a map of Stockport. They placed pins on areas they felt would benefit from new cultural interventions. This helped us identify specific sites that the community perceives as underused, lacking cultural activity, or having strong potential for development.

Through this engagement, we gathered a range of ideas and perspectives, providing valuable insight into local needs and priorities. The combination of conversation and mapping allowed us to better understand not just what people want, but also where they feel change is most needed.
