This is what your vote will be used for - a vote by the community, for
the community
Every voice will be heard - this is an opportunity for every resident of the Lancaster West Estate to have a voice and vote on the future of Grenfell Tower, alongside the bereaved, survivors and next of kin. Everyone who is involved has an idea of what they would like to happen to the Grenfell Tower. There will be many ideas and this is your opportunity to vote on them or create your own for other to vote for on. These ideas are what we, as a community, need to voice in an inclusive, 100% anonymous, impartial and trusted way. We really would like to hear your ideas and be able to present them back to the Government, to ensure they put the BSR (bereaved, survivors and residents) first, as they have always promised. It is worth to mention that we offered this technology to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities to use for all bereaved, survivors and residents outside of the Lancaster West Estate at no cost, but the offer was turned down.
This vote is for the immediate community of Grenfell - the Lancaster
West Estate
This initial vote will be to capture the voice of the immediate
community of the Lancaster West Estate, ages 18 and up (minors can have their say through their parents). After we have
collected this vote, we will open it up to the next-of-kin, the bereaved
and survivors. Below is a map of the Lancaster West Estate, with a list
of road names where eligible voters will need to have their registered
address. We will be sending out a poll card to each person living in the
areas below. Each poll card will be in a sealed envelope with your
unique ID which you will use to vote. This unique ID is not linked to
your name or address in any way.
If your registered address is here you can vote:
Camborne Mews, Barandon Walk, Camelford Court, Upper & Lower Camelford
Court, Lower Clarendon Walk, Clarendon Walk, Upper Clarendon Walk,
Hurstway Walk, Morland Walk, Talbot Grove House, Lower Talbot Walk,
Testerton Walk, Treadgold House, Upper Talbot Walk, Verity Close,
Bormore Road Apartments.
Your vote is 100% anonymous, with no possibility to trace your vote back
to you
The data is collected by the community not the Government. Once
collected, it is presented to the Government. As the Lancaster West
Residents' Association, our aim is to find out what our residents want.
We know how much you want your voice to be heard - we just need to know
exactly what that voice is and what it is we need to be fighting for.
That is why we are partnering with and using the latest decentralised
technology to collect this voice ourselves in a safe and secure way, to
then present to the Government. Instead of either the decision be left
with a small group of people none of us know or use a platform that
leaves our vote (and data) wide open to abuse. The app we are using is,
under
GDPR, categorised as 'data anonymisation' which means your name and address
(your personal identity) is not linked with your vote or ideas in any
way - your vote is 100% anonymous. Your personal data is not captured or
stored anywhere by anyone, so even if someone wanted to 're-identify'
you by force, it would still not be possible. The source code is also
publicly available on
GitHub, so anyone can review the code to independently verify this at any
time.
Yes - we want to hear what you think should happen to the tower - the
community can then vote for your idea
Not only do we want to collect your vote securely and anonymously, we also want to hear your own proposals of what should happen to the Tower and allow others to vote on them. For us, this is to ensure we are not allowing outside groups to channel a limited amount of options for us to vote on that might not be what we, as a community, really want. We want the right ideas offered as a choice created by the people who are eligible to vote. We want you to use your experiences as a resident to both create the ideas and to then have the ability to vote on them. At any time, if you change your mind and discover an idea more in line with your thoughts and feelings, you can also 'unvote' (similar to creating a post on social media, which others can 'like' or 'unlike').
