Nice Barnet!
By Dominic Campbell • Aug 31st, 2008 • Category: VideosAn unusually quick one from me today to share a work in progress with you.
We’ve been out about on the streets of Barnet doing some vox pops, talking to local people about what they think of where they live - what they love, what they hate and what they would change about the place. Its all part of a bigger community engagement project we are running, trying to rethink (read: improve) the way we connect with the good people of Barnet (watch this space in late September for a fuller update on the project).
I’ve embedded a personal favourite of mine (the way the man’s quality of life is determined by the number of cheap fast food restaurants in the area really puts us public sector management types in our place!), but you can see the full set of seven short videos on Barnet Council’s YouTube channel.
Enjoy!

come on mate- he is clearly more worried about poor support for kids crossing the road…. nice video
James you’re totally right to pull me up on being flippant.
He makes some great points as do all the people we spoke to. Really great step forward in starting to truly understand the views of the people of Barnet and their priorities for the area, rather than reducing the world into a series of survey ticks boxes and meaningless statistics.
I’d highly recommend the process to any other public, private or third sector organisation looking to get closer to their residents, service users or customers.
