TEMPLATE 2
Phase I
Collection of measures to be included in the Democratic Compact
DECIDE – DEmocratic Compact: Improving Democracy in Europe
Please use this template for describing each measure that you would like to be included in
the democratic compact
Context
Please describe the general framework whining which the measure has been adopted
The UK Localism Act of 2011 provided new opportunities for local councils and individuals to
contribute to the design and development of their communities. The act allows for the
creation of a Neighbourhood Development Plan, which allows the community to section off
certain ‘community assets’, identify areas of potential development and reflect the needs of
the community when it comes to planning and construction. The Penryn Town Council are
currently reviewing the needs of the community and developing the beginnings of a
Neighbourhood Plan. Our research was designed to study the areas of development for
young people within Penryn, and the paths of development they believe would be the most
beneficial for their futures, particularly as there is believed to be net youth emigration.
The Penryn community is somewhat divided between ‘locals’ and ‘students’, a ‘local’ being (in
terms of the project research) a resident living in the area for more than 3 years as a primary
home, not a secondary holiday home or student home. This is particularly poignant in the
context of Penryn, particularly with the expansion of the Penryn Campus (a collaboration
between the University of Exeter and Falmouth University, and the ‘hub’ of the Combined
Universities in Cornwall [CUC] initiative). In recent years, the expansion of the Penryn Campus
has caused a huge strain on housing, leaving many ‘locals’ dissatisfied with availability of
housing and unwilling to share housing stock with students. Local news outlets report
‘nightmare’ student neighbours who generate great deals of noise and disrupt daily life -
despite the relatively low incidence of this. The universities are beginning to purchase more
property within Penryn and the neighbouring town of Falmouth, with private landlords often
renting out regular family houses for multiple occupancy, limiting the availability of housing
to non-students. A lack of amenities available to share between the ‘local’ and ‘student’
populations - such as parking and banking - lead to further tensions, with some reports of
damaged cars. All of these issues are exacerbated by a lack of perceived benefit from the
universities, originally advertised as keeping local talent in Cornwall (preventing the ‘brain
drain’ phenomenon), though largely characterised now by in-migration from non-Cornish
students.
Penrynopoly, a Monopoly-style board game, was created to become a performative talking
point through which to discuss these issues and engage a multitude of actors within Penryn
whilst providing an equal and friendly environment to do so.
Measure
Please provide an overview of the measure by describing its aim and its specific objectives
In an attempt to answer the question of the futures young people would like to see for
Penryn, we formulated the following aims:
● Encouraging dialogue between factions within the community- e.g. students, the
University, ‘locals’ and councillors.
● Empower those not traditionally heard in politics by ensuring all data is included
within our report and constructs a set of practical developments for the
Neighbourhood Plan
● Provide current data, representative of local residents, students and those who
frequent the local area and form the larger network (assemblage) of Penryn.
● Identify areas of satisfaction and dissatisfaction from individuals to identify the most
prominent issues within the local area.
● Empower young people to take a more prominent role in participating and informing
local and regional politics.
● Create an interactive game through which interested parties can facilitate discussion,
further research and increase social capital.
● Provide clear and sustainable recommendations, that can be contextualised to meet
local and government requirements; and inform the Neighbourhood Plan draft.
Target group
Please provide details about the target group that the measure was addressed to
Our research was intended to focus on young people within Penryn between the ages of 18
and 25. As such, school and college aged children were intended to be consulted in
conjunction to University students and those not in education whom fall into our age bracket.
The report itself was conducted to service the Penryn community and was provided to the
Penryn Town Council.
Methodology
Please describe the methods and the tools used to implement the measure
Our data was collected using mixed methods: questionnaires, anonymous post-its notes,
interviews and participatory mapping.
● Questionnaires: An online survey was circulated amongst the Penryn community,
using locally based Facebook pages as well as distribution among the Council. The
survey provided preliminary understanding as to the issues faced within Penryn, and
very much shaped the remainder of our research. Many quotes and statistics were
incorporated into the final design of a board game created to facilitate discussion in a
relaxed environment.
● Participatory mapping: A map of Penryn was used to identify the main areas of travel
through the town. This helped to identify hubs of activity and the areas not fully
utilised by the community, as well as further defining our argument that many see
Penryn as an area which is travelled through rather than travelled to. Additionally, this
helped with the design features of our Monopoly-style board.
● Post it notes: A board was placed within the University’s Library with the prompt
“Penryn: What do you think?” and collected anonymous opinions of Penryn. This
furthered our research and reinforced main areas of concern: housing, parking, lack of
services and the student-’local’ dichotomy. The quotes gathered were further utilised
within our board game design.
● Interviews: Interviews were conducted within local business to provide a variety of
opinions regarding Penryn. The interviewees often had children living or interacting
within Penryn, and were able to provide the perspective of what a parent would want
within Penryn and added depth to our research not previously there.
Our research enabled us to create a Monopoly style game of the local area- Penrynopoly. The
board followed a path around Penryn, identified through the participatory mapping, and was
designed to fit the areas of most use and highlighted key businesses within Penryn. The
‘utilities’ squares of a typical Monopoly board were replaced with ‘Development sites’ which
were used to encourage discussion of what the player thought would be of most benefit to
the community. The Chance and Community Chest cards were created using the interviews,
surveys and anonymous post-it notes. The cards had a scenario and a quote or statistic from
our research (see example below). These are intended to open discussion into that issue and
provided players the chance to discuss how to remedy this problem to the benefit of all
parties.
Finally, after the creation of our board, we presented and played the game with stakeholders,
including council members and university representatives. The game was a great success and
created an environment in which serious issues could be discussed in a jovial and calming
setting. The discussion was fruitful and panned out as intended, allowing criticisms of Penryn
in a setting which encouraged discussion of how to remedy these issues.
Stakeholders
Please describe the role of each stakeholder involved in the implementation of the measure
and how they cooperated among them
The development process of Penrynopoly involved the collaboration of multiple stakeholders
within the community. Preliminary discussions were held with councillors from Penryn Town
Council and Cornwall Council, along with employees of Cornwall Council, such as the Local
Area Network Manager, in order to “get a feel” for the community, despite all of the
researchers living and working in the community itself. The University of Exeter, in
commissioning this research through an undergraduate module, had significant involvement
in co-ordinating action between researchers and the Councils, and there was a great deal of
community engagement with both university students and ‘locals’ (now termed ‘long-term
residents’) in order to create the board game.
The first playthrough of Penrynopoly was conducted with members of the Penryn Council and
a representative of the FXU, the combined students’ union of Falmouth University and the
University of Exeter. As players read out the Chance and Community Chest cards, they were
invited to discuss their contents - which they knew to be representative of someone’s view,
somewhere - and thus open themselves to new conceptions of the place they live, and have
such set views of.
Assessment
Please describe what you achieved with this measure in relation to the objectives that you
originally planned
Penrynopoly has been instrumental in opening a dialogue between the town and the
University, leading to an even greater level of collaboration between the two. Particularly in
the context of the recent housing crisis - arguably caused by the two Universities -
Penrynopoly was a useful starting point for setting a tone that said that students and long-
term residents are both disproportionately impacted by this rapid expansion. Since the project
began, this issue has evolved from being primarily focused was on the inability of some
students to find housing, to focusing on how private landlords are creating houses of multiple
occupancy purely for student accommodation, forcing long-term residents from places they
have lived for years. This has reaffirmed the need for a sustainable Neighbourhood Plan
within both Penryn and Falmouth, and hopefully encourages both councils to press ahead
with their attempts to construct these documents.
The low level of engagement with local democracy - particularly from the student population
- was at least partly remedied through Penrynopoly. Our research acted as an intermediary
between young people and the council, acting as a collection point for information which the
council was forced to at least take notice of, even if they did not act upon it. The use of the
game to identify areas of satisfaction and dissatisfaction within the town provided a useful
pool of development opportunities, which were discussed through the game. The
‘Development Site’ spot, for example, allowed a discussion to be had about what the various
players felt the town needs to develop in the future, which could then be contrasted against
the opinions and feelings of the researched community.
Impact
Please describe the impact of the measure on the target groups
Penrynopoly has created at least some short-term change, but this is change that needs to be
kept up. The game opened the town council to new ideas about the role of Penryn in the
future, and how it might develop, folding new possibilities about what Penryn is and might be
into their thoughts. However, without pressure from the student community to maintain their
unique status in the community, the area could easily become two distinct communities
separated by a housing crisis. Inspired by the work done as a part of the research process,
one of the researchers has become Community Officer for the FXU to oversee the
implementation of the recommendations the game put forward, and future research is
planned in the area to encourage engagement with local democracy and make governance
feel a relatable issue.
The game could have perhaps been better advertised, however, in order to ensure that
participants in the research that led to the creation of the game felt represented through the
game’s existence. As such, there may be issues in the community in future surrounding the
marginalisation of the student community in an area that is desperate to keep its ‘local’
identity.
SWOT analysis
Please evaluate the measure in relation to these four indicators: Strengths, Weaknesses,
Opportunities & Threats. Identification of SWOTs is important because they can inform later
steps in planning to achieve the objective.
1. Strengths (characteristics of the measure that give it an advantage over others):
● Penrynopoly is constructed so as to work below the threshold of consciousness,
bringing to light perceptions that participants/players did not know that they had. By
presenting the perceptions of people in various subject positions through the game,
creative, novel opportunities for development are unearthed.
● The game is designed to amplify the views of the marginalised within communities,
with researchers acting as intermediaries between marginalised groups and ‘formal’
political institutions.
2. Weaknesses (characteristics that place the measure at a disadvantage relative to
others)
● The research was initially intended to be carried out with a larger participant group,
perhaps those as young as 15, but due to ethical considerations and safeguarding
issues, a lot of the questions necessary for such research were prohibitively probing. As
such, the game only works with participant communities who are above the legal age
of adulthood, and who can give consent themselves.
● A great deal of the research was focused on University students, as they were the
population most responsive and active to the researchers, who are a part of that same
population. Circulating the surveys and collecting information for the formulation may
become a problem if researchers are not sufficiently integrated within the community.
3. Opportunities (elements that the measure could exploit to its advantage):
● The format of the research, and the core ideals it upholds, are not limited to Penryn,
and may suit other communities as well. Now that the research group has set in place
the groundwork for the project in terms of the theory, methodology and has proven
its potential success, it would be feasible to repeat the process with a different
community, modifying it as necessary so as to suit the target community better.
● The learnings from the research project have yet to be fully implemented in the
community. Extending the research to other members of the community, and building
a proportional representation of all stakeholders in the community and their views
about local issues, would allow for a more complete and objective analysis.
4. Threats (elements in the environment that could cause trouble for the measure):
● The format that we used to collect our research - an entirely custom built board game
that used a familiar format to attempt to relax the participants and make them at ease
- drew heavily upon the copyrighted work ‘Monopoly’ in its style and format. Although
we did not profit from this project, and it was a small project that involved less than
50 people in total, the opportunity of expanding this project to other areas and
thereby increasing the profile of this significantly may lead the project towards
copyright issues.
● As mentioned in Opportunities, the project, to fully fulfil its core aims, relies on
participation from all demographics for a comprehensive and representative game and
research tool. With participation apathy, whereby many potential participants decided
against taking part for a multitude of reasons, this remains a hard task.
Further information
Please give any additional information, observations, comments or recommendations that you
deem important
This research project was conducted through a module at the University of Exeter, “Radical
Democracy in Practice”, lead by Dr Joanie Willett, where theoretical philosophical and political
ideas from an earlier module were used to attempt to work through the problems of Penryn.
The project used a few notable concepts, such as Deleuze’s concept of the assemblage, a
radical model of thought which focuses on connections between autonomous elements in a
system. In order to extract participant’s subconscious perceptions about the town (and so
create a model for development), we deliberately emulated the Bergsonian model of memory
recall. Under Bergson, only relevant information is available for recall at a given time, and our
methodology deliberately exposed participants to new material, which stimulated and
increased the possible relevant information.

'Penrynyopoly' Democratic Compact

  • 1. TEMPLATE 2 Phase I Collection of measures to be included in the Democratic Compact DECIDE – DEmocratic Compact: Improving Democracy in Europe Please use this template for describing each measure that you would like to be included in the democratic compact Context Please describe the general framework whining which the measure has been adopted The UK Localism Act of 2011 provided new opportunities for local councils and individuals to contribute to the design and development of their communities. The act allows for the creation of a Neighbourhood Development Plan, which allows the community to section off certain ‘community assets’, identify areas of potential development and reflect the needs of the community when it comes to planning and construction. The Penryn Town Council are currently reviewing the needs of the community and developing the beginnings of a Neighbourhood Plan. Our research was designed to study the areas of development for young people within Penryn, and the paths of development they believe would be the most beneficial for their futures, particularly as there is believed to be net youth emigration. The Penryn community is somewhat divided between ‘locals’ and ‘students’, a ‘local’ being (in terms of the project research) a resident living in the area for more than 3 years as a primary
  • 2. home, not a secondary holiday home or student home. This is particularly poignant in the context of Penryn, particularly with the expansion of the Penryn Campus (a collaboration between the University of Exeter and Falmouth University, and the ‘hub’ of the Combined Universities in Cornwall [CUC] initiative). In recent years, the expansion of the Penryn Campus has caused a huge strain on housing, leaving many ‘locals’ dissatisfied with availability of housing and unwilling to share housing stock with students. Local news outlets report ‘nightmare’ student neighbours who generate great deals of noise and disrupt daily life - despite the relatively low incidence of this. The universities are beginning to purchase more property within Penryn and the neighbouring town of Falmouth, with private landlords often renting out regular family houses for multiple occupancy, limiting the availability of housing to non-students. A lack of amenities available to share between the ‘local’ and ‘student’ populations - such as parking and banking - lead to further tensions, with some reports of damaged cars. All of these issues are exacerbated by a lack of perceived benefit from the universities, originally advertised as keeping local talent in Cornwall (preventing the ‘brain drain’ phenomenon), though largely characterised now by in-migration from non-Cornish students. Penrynopoly, a Monopoly-style board game, was created to become a performative talking point through which to discuss these issues and engage a multitude of actors within Penryn whilst providing an equal and friendly environment to do so. Measure Please provide an overview of the measure by describing its aim and its specific objectives In an attempt to answer the question of the futures young people would like to see for Penryn, we formulated the following aims:
  • 3. ● Encouraging dialogue between factions within the community- e.g. students, the University, ‘locals’ and councillors. ● Empower those not traditionally heard in politics by ensuring all data is included within our report and constructs a set of practical developments for the Neighbourhood Plan ● Provide current data, representative of local residents, students and those who frequent the local area and form the larger network (assemblage) of Penryn. ● Identify areas of satisfaction and dissatisfaction from individuals to identify the most prominent issues within the local area. ● Empower young people to take a more prominent role in participating and informing local and regional politics. ● Create an interactive game through which interested parties can facilitate discussion, further research and increase social capital. ● Provide clear and sustainable recommendations, that can be contextualised to meet local and government requirements; and inform the Neighbourhood Plan draft. Target group Please provide details about the target group that the measure was addressed to Our research was intended to focus on young people within Penryn between the ages of 18 and 25. As such, school and college aged children were intended to be consulted in conjunction to University students and those not in education whom fall into our age bracket. The report itself was conducted to service the Penryn community and was provided to the Penryn Town Council. Methodology
  • 4. Please describe the methods and the tools used to implement the measure Our data was collected using mixed methods: questionnaires, anonymous post-its notes, interviews and participatory mapping. ● Questionnaires: An online survey was circulated amongst the Penryn community, using locally based Facebook pages as well as distribution among the Council. The survey provided preliminary understanding as to the issues faced within Penryn, and very much shaped the remainder of our research. Many quotes and statistics were incorporated into the final design of a board game created to facilitate discussion in a relaxed environment. ● Participatory mapping: A map of Penryn was used to identify the main areas of travel through the town. This helped to identify hubs of activity and the areas not fully utilised by the community, as well as further defining our argument that many see Penryn as an area which is travelled through rather than travelled to. Additionally, this helped with the design features of our Monopoly-style board. ● Post it notes: A board was placed within the University’s Library with the prompt “Penryn: What do you think?” and collected anonymous opinions of Penryn. This furthered our research and reinforced main areas of concern: housing, parking, lack of services and the student-’local’ dichotomy. The quotes gathered were further utilised within our board game design. ● Interviews: Interviews were conducted within local business to provide a variety of opinions regarding Penryn. The interviewees often had children living or interacting within Penryn, and were able to provide the perspective of what a parent would want
  • 5. within Penryn and added depth to our research not previously there. Our research enabled us to create a Monopoly style game of the local area- Penrynopoly. The board followed a path around Penryn, identified through the participatory mapping, and was designed to fit the areas of most use and highlighted key businesses within Penryn. The ‘utilities’ squares of a typical Monopoly board were replaced with ‘Development sites’ which were used to encourage discussion of what the player thought would be of most benefit to the community. The Chance and Community Chest cards were created using the interviews, surveys and anonymous post-it notes. The cards had a scenario and a quote or statistic from our research (see example below). These are intended to open discussion into that issue and provided players the chance to discuss how to remedy this problem to the benefit of all parties. Finally, after the creation of our board, we presented and played the game with stakeholders, including council members and university representatives. The game was a great success and created an environment in which serious issues could be discussed in a jovial and calming
  • 6. setting. The discussion was fruitful and panned out as intended, allowing criticisms of Penryn in a setting which encouraged discussion of how to remedy these issues. Stakeholders Please describe the role of each stakeholder involved in the implementation of the measure and how they cooperated among them The development process of Penrynopoly involved the collaboration of multiple stakeholders within the community. Preliminary discussions were held with councillors from Penryn Town Council and Cornwall Council, along with employees of Cornwall Council, such as the Local Area Network Manager, in order to “get a feel” for the community, despite all of the researchers living and working in the community itself. The University of Exeter, in commissioning this research through an undergraduate module, had significant involvement in co-ordinating action between researchers and the Councils, and there was a great deal of community engagement with both university students and ‘locals’ (now termed ‘long-term residents’) in order to create the board game. The first playthrough of Penrynopoly was conducted with members of the Penryn Council and a representative of the FXU, the combined students’ union of Falmouth University and the University of Exeter. As players read out the Chance and Community Chest cards, they were invited to discuss their contents - which they knew to be representative of someone’s view, somewhere - and thus open themselves to new conceptions of the place they live, and have such set views of. Assessment Please describe what you achieved with this measure in relation to the objectives that you originally planned
  • 7. Penrynopoly has been instrumental in opening a dialogue between the town and the University, leading to an even greater level of collaboration between the two. Particularly in the context of the recent housing crisis - arguably caused by the two Universities - Penrynopoly was a useful starting point for setting a tone that said that students and long- term residents are both disproportionately impacted by this rapid expansion. Since the project began, this issue has evolved from being primarily focused was on the inability of some students to find housing, to focusing on how private landlords are creating houses of multiple occupancy purely for student accommodation, forcing long-term residents from places they have lived for years. This has reaffirmed the need for a sustainable Neighbourhood Plan within both Penryn and Falmouth, and hopefully encourages both councils to press ahead with their attempts to construct these documents. The low level of engagement with local democracy - particularly from the student population - was at least partly remedied through Penrynopoly. Our research acted as an intermediary between young people and the council, acting as a collection point for information which the council was forced to at least take notice of, even if they did not act upon it. The use of the game to identify areas of satisfaction and dissatisfaction within the town provided a useful pool of development opportunities, which were discussed through the game. The ‘Development Site’ spot, for example, allowed a discussion to be had about what the various players felt the town needs to develop in the future, which could then be contrasted against the opinions and feelings of the researched community. Impact Please describe the impact of the measure on the target groups
  • 8. Penrynopoly has created at least some short-term change, but this is change that needs to be kept up. The game opened the town council to new ideas about the role of Penryn in the future, and how it might develop, folding new possibilities about what Penryn is and might be into their thoughts. However, without pressure from the student community to maintain their unique status in the community, the area could easily become two distinct communities separated by a housing crisis. Inspired by the work done as a part of the research process, one of the researchers has become Community Officer for the FXU to oversee the implementation of the recommendations the game put forward, and future research is planned in the area to encourage engagement with local democracy and make governance feel a relatable issue. The game could have perhaps been better advertised, however, in order to ensure that participants in the research that led to the creation of the game felt represented through the game’s existence. As such, there may be issues in the community in future surrounding the marginalisation of the student community in an area that is desperate to keep its ‘local’ identity. SWOT analysis Please evaluate the measure in relation to these four indicators: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities & Threats. Identification of SWOTs is important because they can inform later steps in planning to achieve the objective. 1. Strengths (characteristics of the measure that give it an advantage over others): ● Penrynopoly is constructed so as to work below the threshold of consciousness, bringing to light perceptions that participants/players did not know that they had. By presenting the perceptions of people in various subject positions through the game, creative, novel opportunities for development are unearthed.
  • 9. ● The game is designed to amplify the views of the marginalised within communities, with researchers acting as intermediaries between marginalised groups and ‘formal’ political institutions. 2. Weaknesses (characteristics that place the measure at a disadvantage relative to others) ● The research was initially intended to be carried out with a larger participant group, perhaps those as young as 15, but due to ethical considerations and safeguarding issues, a lot of the questions necessary for such research were prohibitively probing. As such, the game only works with participant communities who are above the legal age of adulthood, and who can give consent themselves. ● A great deal of the research was focused on University students, as they were the population most responsive and active to the researchers, who are a part of that same population. Circulating the surveys and collecting information for the formulation may become a problem if researchers are not sufficiently integrated within the community. 3. Opportunities (elements that the measure could exploit to its advantage): ● The format of the research, and the core ideals it upholds, are not limited to Penryn, and may suit other communities as well. Now that the research group has set in place the groundwork for the project in terms of the theory, methodology and has proven its potential success, it would be feasible to repeat the process with a different community, modifying it as necessary so as to suit the target community better. ● The learnings from the research project have yet to be fully implemented in the community. Extending the research to other members of the community, and building a proportional representation of all stakeholders in the community and their views about local issues, would allow for a more complete and objective analysis.
  • 10. 4. Threats (elements in the environment that could cause trouble for the measure): ● The format that we used to collect our research - an entirely custom built board game that used a familiar format to attempt to relax the participants and make them at ease - drew heavily upon the copyrighted work ‘Monopoly’ in its style and format. Although we did not profit from this project, and it was a small project that involved less than 50 people in total, the opportunity of expanding this project to other areas and thereby increasing the profile of this significantly may lead the project towards copyright issues. ● As mentioned in Opportunities, the project, to fully fulfil its core aims, relies on participation from all demographics for a comprehensive and representative game and research tool. With participation apathy, whereby many potential participants decided against taking part for a multitude of reasons, this remains a hard task. Further information Please give any additional information, observations, comments or recommendations that you deem important This research project was conducted through a module at the University of Exeter, “Radical Democracy in Practice”, lead by Dr Joanie Willett, where theoretical philosophical and political ideas from an earlier module were used to attempt to work through the problems of Penryn. The project used a few notable concepts, such as Deleuze’s concept of the assemblage, a radical model of thought which focuses on connections between autonomous elements in a system. In order to extract participant’s subconscious perceptions about the town (and so create a model for development), we deliberately emulated the Bergsonian model of memory recall. Under Bergson, only relevant information is available for recall at a given time, and our methodology deliberately exposed participants to new material, which stimulated and
  • 11. increased the possible relevant information. Annexes Please enclose to this template any relevant materials used for collecting the feedback of the different stakeholders (questionnaires, reports, open polls results, phone interviews outcomes, etc.) The board and cards for Penrynopoly, along with the survey used in the production of the game, are attached to the end of this document.
