We asked

During a previous consultation on the refurbishment of a playground at Emslie Horniman Pleasance, residents wanted to see a mural within the playground to celebrate local artistry. Three local community artists put forward their designs and residents living in Golborne ward, local to the park were asked to vote for their favourite design (votes from outside this area were not counted).

You said

Overall, we received 239 votes, however the majority of these were from people from outside of Golborne ward. Sixty one votes were received from those resident in Golborne and the result of their votes was as follows:

Design Proposal A - Bugs, Beatles and Butterflies of Kensington

17

28%

Design proposal B - Our children are Our Rising Stars

36

59%

Design proposal C - Unity Through Pattern

8

13%

The winning design was, therefore. Our Children are our rising stars by Junior Tomlin.

We did

The parks service will be working with KACW and artist Junior Tomlin, to commence work on painting the winning mural Our children are our rising stars on the rear wall of Emslie Horniman’s Pleasance play area. The work is scheduled to take place in mid-April subject to weather.

Overview

During a consultation on the refurbishment of a playground at Emslie Horniman Pleasance, 83% of respondents wanted to see a mural within the playground to celebrate local artistry. The team behind Kensington and Chelsea Art Week (KCAW) has been curating the project, running the consultation and the final delivery of the mural - which will be added onto the inside of the wall surrounding the playground. They have already run workshops to get a better understanding of what local schools and local organisations would like to see.

Three local community artists have put forward their designs for the mural. This is your chance to vote for your favourite. We want to hear from those living in Golborne Ward who are local to the park (votes from outside this area will not be counted). The design with the highest number of votes will be selected and painted onto the inside of the wall which surrounds the playground.
