Loca specialises in creative consultation - projects which offer accessible, inclusive ways of involving communities in local decision-making, enabling people to influence new developments and initiatives, and exploring solutions to local issues.     in Huddersfield, artists developed tailor-made consultation processes to involve residents in selecting colour palettes for the re-painting of 134 houses in Brackenhall estate and the re-painting of two 16-storey blocks of flats in Berry Brow.  The benefits for our commissioner, Kirklees Neighbourhood Housing, were distinctive and well-designed schemes and high levels of resident involvement and public satisfaction with the results.     while Moorside estate in Dewsbury was being transformed into a Home Zone, an artist worked with residents to develop a design theme which ran throughout the scheme, and decorative streetscape features such as paving and signage. The artists' long-term involvement gave housing officers, landscape architects and highways engineers a vehicle for communicating with the community during a time of great change, as well as ensuring quality design outcomes.   to help kick-start a new initiative at Oakwell Hall Country Park, an artist was appointed to run a creative consultation programme and help staff develop ideas for a new Faith Garden and education trail.  The focus on faith meant that it was important to engage different stakeholder groups; creative activities provided an accessible and inclusive way of doing this.
