Our ‘Blank Sheet’ is full
More than 700 postcards have come in through the post and have been logged digitally sharing community priorities to support development of the Council Plan. Each postcard also contains up to six priorities – which makes for around 6,000 comments. And there are more still coming in!
That’s an amazing response and we’re blown away by your interest. While it will take us a while longer to go through all the feedback – a number of themes are emerging including:
Next Steps
We still have some work to do analysing all the feedback you’ve provided.
Once that’s been done, Councillors will be reviewing your feedback as they consider the key strategic objectives that will be included in the draft Council Plan – which will then be shared with you for comment, during April.
You can still help us
The Council Plan also incorporates the Health and Wellbeing Plan which will identify specific goals and strategies to help our residents stay fit and well.

Please share your thoughts on our health and wellbeing feedback and ideas wall below form.
