CCC Swalecliff community day engagement
Cardo Canterbury partnered with city council engagement team to deliver a series of community engagements during school term break.
Morning of event found the Cardo gazebo had disappeared.
Kelly represented Cardo, with some summer arts and crafts for local children, with small prizes for good efforts and taking any repair enquires with Canterbury City Council organised entertainment and ice cream refreshment. No repair issues reported/recorded. Council Residents chair helped on Cardo stand.
‘The UK government’s drive for councils to engage more with communities focuses on devolving powers, increasing local decision-making, and restoring civic pride. This push centres around the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill, which mandates that residents have a proper say on local issues, regeneration, and spending’
‘Council local community engagement events bridge the gap between local authorities and residents. They empower citizens to influence local decision-making , improve transparency, and build community spirit . These gatherings gather feedback on important issues like housing, policing, and public health’.
Client Feedback: Hi all,
Just wanted to pop a quick message to say a huge thank you for todays event!
We estimated around 150 people attended (from the amount of ice cream we gave out). This is our most successful event yet.
We’ve gathered some brilliant feedback from the Swalecliffe community including the surveys from the big door knock.
Thank you again, we can’t do events like this without everyone’s involvement and efforts – I really appreciate it!
Have a great rest of your week and will see some of you again next week!
Cheers, Lizzie
