Newport and Carisbrooke Community Council is inviting residents to help shape the future of their community by participating in a survey that will inform the new strategic plan and upcoming budget.
The survey, which runs for five weeks from Tuesday 26th November to Tuesday 31st December, is available online. Paper copies are also available at 64 High Street and Lord Louis Library and can also be requested by calling the Community Council on (01983) 559 119.
The purpose
The survey aims to gather as many responses as possible to understand residents’ priorities and aspirations for Newport and Carisbrooke. It covers topics such as public spaces, transport, community events, facilities for young people, heritage and culture, and support for the elderly and vulnerable.
Residents will also have the opportunity to share their views on funding priorities and potential adjustments to the council tax precept.
Matthews: Your feedback will help shape our strategic plan and guide how we allocate resources
Councillor Deborah Matthews, Chair of the Assets and Facilities Committee said,
“We want to ensure that the voices of our community are at the heart of everything we do. This survey gives residents a real opportunity to influence the future of Newport and Carisbrooke.
“Whether it’s preserving green spaces, supporting vulnerable residents, or improving local facilities, your feedback will help shape our strategic plan and guide how we allocate resources.”
The survey is open to anyone
The Community Council is encouraging everyone to take part, whether online or through a paper copy, to ensure the survey reflects a wide range of views. While they primarily want to hear from local residents who pay the local precept, the survey is open to anyone.
For more information or to request a paper copy of the survey, please contact Newport and Carisbrooke Community Council at (01983) 559 119.
