Consultation has concluded
As part of Lancaster’s Health Festival, the Community Connectors team devised two community engagement tools to interact with residents. To find out what was important for communities recovering from the pandemic, an interactive ‘Recovery Tree’ invited residents to give their ideas by adding them to leaves on the tree, while the ‘Wellbeing Maps’ enabled residents to say where they went for their wellbeing and what was special about the places they choose.
Your Recovery Tree:
There were 38 separate ideas posted on the recovery tree by residents from different areas across the Lancaster district. Overall, there was an emphasis on broadly supporting people to meet up socially in different settings ‘More events and spaces that bring people together in a safe way. There was also an emphasis on education as a social event with comments such as 'Lots of subsidised adult education classes for everyone' and ‘re-open the Adult College’. We received feedback about increasing access to the outdoors, ‘Make more spaces accessible to pedestrians and cycles’ and ‘Promising places to walk’.
Your Wellbeing Maps:
The majority of interaction centred on the Lancaster area with popular destinations being Lancaster Canal, Fairfield Nature Reserve (Flora and Fauna), the Estuary path and Freeman’s woods all being mentioned on more than one occasion. Julie from Lancaster: 'I like to watch the swans on the canal while walking my dog'. Other areas in Lancaster included Williamson Park and Fenham Carr that also had multiple mentions.
Morecambe residents focused on the sea front with most mentioning the prom. Notably Emma from Bolton Le Sands said, ‘I love our blue spaces & being by the sea’and an anonymous young person said, ‘Going to the beach with my Grandma.’
Further afield Clougha Pike, Half-moon Bay and the Crook ‘o’ Lune were popular places.
