How many people tend to participate in PB?
There is no answer to that question! In the UK alone, there is a huge variation in the numbers and, clearly, the size of the geographical area or target group makes a significant difference. In some recent cases, many hundreds (or more) of residents have been involved but it is often significantly lower than that, especially in the first year of PB activity. It is important to judge the level of participation against any previous engagement initiative in the same area. Even a small number of participants can be regarded as a success in a neighbourhood where there is no history of community activity.
