We want to hear from you!

As a resident of the Croft Street / Huddersfield Street area (including Hill Street, Greenbank Street & Galabank Street), we are looking for your views on how you feel about your community.

This survey invites you, as someone who lives or works in the area to share your views. We want to know what you think about your home and community. How it feels to live or work in the area, what you like about it, and what you feel could be improved.
Your views matter. We would really appreciate you taking the time to complete this survey – it should take you no more than 15 minutes. Tell us what you think, and you will be entered into a draw to win a £50 shopping voucher.

Please scroll down to complete the online survey. Alternatively paper copies have been issued to households with a pre-paid reply envelope and further opportunities will be available at our Open Day.

Our Open Day will be held at the car park in Galabank Street on Friday 27th May between 12 noon and 4pm.
