Community Consultation Phase 2 - Access4Life Survey
The second stage of community consultation is a survey distributed across the project area to both households and key services e.g. libraries. The results will be used to develop and implement a variety of initiatives to improve access across the borough. Local feedback will be published in your area later this year and throughout the project with regular updates on this website.

As a first for Access4Life, a specific Youth Survey has been developed to consult and engage with the young people of the villages regarding the access issues they face because of where they live. This will be distributed via local secondary schools and youth clubs and will give a clear picture of areas which need addressing in order to support this important generation.
