Current Engagement Opportunities

Online Survey - Last Chance To Have Your Say! Survey closes 30 September 2024.

SURVEY LINK

We would like to extend a huge Thank You to the 500 residents and 322 primary school children from across the Borough who have already taken the time to complete our online survey. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we are grateful for your input. The survey results will play a crucial role in shaping the new Village Plans, ensuring that they truly reflect the needs and aspirations of our residents and businesses.

We are asking you to use one word to describe how you would like your village to be in the future? The most popular responses so far include Attractive, Beautiful, Clean, Desirable, Inclusive, Peaceful, Safe, Thriving and Welcoming.

We also want to know how you feel about your village and are delighted to report that a quarter of our respondents to date have told us that "they love their village".

We have received some great improvement ideas including better beach/ water access, new signage, addressing derelict properties, introducing allotments, having more youth activities/facilities and much more.

If you haven't had a chance to participate yet, there is still time but you need to be quick. Please take a few minutes to share your thoughts and opinions - and encourage your friends and neighbours to participate too! Every voice matters. Let's work together to create a brighter future for our Villages.
