๐๐ SEACOMBE PRIDE IN PLACE UPDATE ๐๐
Over the last few weeks we've been out and about speaking with residents, attending community events, holding conversations and gathering survey responses to help us understand what matters most to local people.
This early engagement has been about keeping a little momentum going whilst our Neighbourhood Board is being established and before we begin a wider programme of community engagement designed to bring our community together and ensure as many voices as possible are heard.
So far, we've engaged with residents through:
๐ 3 community sessions at D Hub 67
๐ WEN Summer Fair
๐ Wirral Carers Conference at Eureka!
๐ Soccer Dome engagement event
๐ Informal community conversations
๐ Social media engagement
๐ Our latest community survey, which has been running for nearly two weeks and has already received 71 responses
Combined with face-to-face conversations and event attendance, we estimate that we have already engaged with over 200 residents, community members and stakeholders.
Importantly, the feedback we're receiving is very much in line with the findings from Angela Eagle's previous community survey. It is encouraging to see the same priorities emerging from different engagement activities, giving us confidence that we are hearing the issues that matter most to local people.
The key themes emerging so far include:
โ
Cleaner streets and tackling litter and fly tipping
โ
More opportunities and activities for young people
โ
Better parks, green spaces and outdoor areas
โ
Community spaces, support services and activities
โ
Reducing anti-social behaviour and improving community safety
โ
Bringing empty buildings and neglected areas back into use
While engagement is still at an early stage, there is already a strong level of consistency in what people are telling us.
This is only the beginning.
Over the coming months we'll be working with our newly established Board, community partners and engagement specialists to carry out more targeted engagement, ensuring we reach people from all backgrounds, ages and communities across Seacombe. We want to make sure everyone has the opportunity to help shape the future of our area.
๐ญ We'd love your thoughts...
Looking at the priorities above, which do you think should be our focus moving forward?
Is there anything important you feel is missing?
