Share stories, listen and imagine brighter futures for your street, together.

This guide offers prompts and formats you can use to invite neighbours, friends, passersby and other street users into conversations about your street. Discuss how a street feels now, what people value, and what they’d love to see change close to home. The best part? You’ll look forward to your next street chat more with every conversation.

Use it when you want to move beyond formal consultation or online comment threads and instead create pockets of genuine listening - around a kitchen table, at a café, during a slow walk, or on a favourite bench. The questions, tips and examples are designed so that anyone can host, whether you’re a resident, practitioner or local organiser, and so that each conversation leaves people feeling more connected, not more divided.
