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.
