Have your say on making Cambridge a better place to live and work

Cambridge residents are being asked to fill in a survey about what they like or dislike about where they live; what makes them feel safe, happy and healthy; and what they would do to make it a better place to live, work and spend leisure time in.

The Cambridge City Council survey will be running from February 14 until March 26 along with a series of conversations with local communities and residents, held by the local authority. All of the feedback received will help build a picture of residents’ priorities for the future of Cambridge.

Everyone who takes part in the survey will be able to opt in to be entered into a draw to win a £100 Love Cambridge voucher.

The feedback from residents will be published on the council’s website in May.

Cllr Mike Davey, executive councillor for strategy, resources and transformation, said: “We are making significant improvements to the council to build a better, more efficient and sustainable organisation. We need to make sure we’re fit for the future, work with partners and prioritise the services people want and need.

“To make sure we can achieve this, we’re putting residents at the heart of the conversation. We’re asking them to share feedback with us and help us to define our future role in ensuring the city continues to be a great place to live and work. It is all about ensuring we hear from the local community about what is important to them.”

The work is part of the council’s transformation programme, Our Cambridge, which aims to create a more modern and community-focused council delivering services through better use of technology and new ways of working. The programme will also contribute to required savings.
