We've got a new council (Westmorland and Furness) and Alston Moor Area Planning Group are gathering information to help identify local issues and priorities. This is an excellent opportunity to let the local team know what’s most important to us. The questionnaire linked here is a tool that Westmorland and Furness themselves are using for their local priority setting work. The Alston Moor Area Planning Group hope that many local residents complete the questionnaire so that they can give a very clear message about our need for e.g. affordable housing (for rent and for buying), decent public transport, employment on Alston Moor and whatever else you might recognise as important to the future of our community.
We need as many local people as possible to complete this, so there is a clear message about our needs. Whatever YOU think is important must be included. There will be lots of different priorities and ideas - let's include everything. We won’t get everything we want – that’s life! – but we’ve got more of a chance if there’s obvious local interest and strong local priorites.
So, please, set aside some time - it does take a while to work through, but it will be so worthwhile if you can make your contribution to the community's efforts.
