📣 Have Your Say – Help Shape the Future of Woodley Library & the New Community Hub

We're working with the Wokingham Borough Council Inclusive Design Group, and the focus of our next session is Woodley Library and the development of a new Community Hub.

We'd love to take your feedback to the meeting to help influence not only the design of the new hub, but future community hubs across the borough.

💬 We'd particularly like to hear your thoughts on:

📚 Improving Woodley Library Now (Quick Wins)
• What works well from an accessibility and inclusion point of view?
• What barriers make it difficult to enter, use or enjoy the space?
• What small, practical improvements could be made in the short term?

🏡 Shaping the New Community Hub
• What lessons from Woodley Library should be considered when designing the new hub?
• What accessibility, inclusion or welcoming features should be included or replicated?

Whether your experience has been positive or you've faced challenges, we'd really value hearing from you. Every comment helps us represent the voices of local SEND families and advocate for more inclusive community spaces.

👇 Please share your thoughts in the comments below, send us a private message or email [email protected] if you prefer.
