What you told us

02 Feb 2021

In summer 2020, you told us what you wanted from a Citizens' Alliance Network. This is what was said:

  • 47% of people said they would most like to use the network online
  • 2% said they'd prefer to use the network in-person
  • 51% said they'd like a mix of online and in-person involvement


The top three reasons you'd like to get involved were:

  • Getting in touch with your neighbours to create positive change
  • Having more power over decisions that affect your neighbourhood
  • Understanding and sharing information about what's happening in the community


Topics that you'd like to talk to your neighbours and the council about included:

  • Rubbish
  • Road safety
  • Cleanliness
  • Crime
  • Events
  • Bringing the community together
  • Parking
  • Climate emergency


Thinking about your experiences during the coronavirus pandemic, many of you told us that:

  • You'd be more likely to participate in parts of local decision making
  • You have friends, family, and neighbours who will support you if you need support
  • You are more likely to want to get involved in community work
  • It has improved your understanding of the Borough
  • If you want to make a change in your community, you are able to do so
  • If you want to make a change to your life, you are able to do so


A community conversation was held on the 21st October 2020, where residents discussed more ideas for the future of the Citizens' Alliance Network.
