The latest update from our Longridge and Shaw Heath Anchor Neighbourhood
Update on our Neighbourhood Master Plan
In April we started talking to customers, other residents, businesses, partners and stakeholders about what’s important to them to help us shape our Neighbourhood Master Plan for the area. Thanks to everyone who completed the survey. We’re in the process of completing a final evidence-based report, but from the initial findings key priorities you’ve told us are most important are:
Over the next few months, we’ll be considering all our initial findings. We’ll then be back in touch to let you know the findings and provide details of additional events and focus groups we’re looking to run to have a more in-depth discussion to progress these matters.
How your feedback is already helping us
Our Master Plan may still be in the making, but your feedback is already helping us make a difference.
Thanks to your feedback via the quick poll about children’s holiday activities we ran a Halloween-themed spooky arts and crafts session in the half-term school holidays, and we’ve another planned for Christmas.
Your input on our Interactive Map on the ‘Our Voice’ page has helped update us on local environmental issues (lighting, access, hot spots, grot spots, fly-tipping) and ideas for improvement. Our Neighbourhood Services Manager has already started to look at the information you’ve provided and what we can do to tackle some of the issues raised including repairing the lighting at Northfields and supporting vulnerable individuals who may be struggling to maintain their gardens.
Community Safety was also identified as a priority and we’re looking to raise your concerns as part of our regular meetings with Cheshire Police and what we can do to tackle fly-tipping and antisocial behaviour in the area.
Health and wellbeing were also flagged up as a key concern and we’re working with a range of partners to look at what we can do to support customers from financial advice and support for our 55+ customers to counselling for children and young people.
