Have Your Say - Consultation Week 2009

 

People are being encouraged to get involved in local democracy and have their say on Boston Borough Council’s services during Consultation Week, 22 – 28 June.

The week was launched when the High Street South Steering Group presented their Place Check Report to the leader of the Council, Cllr Richard Austin on Monday 22 June.

The Place Check project is a wonderful example of what can be accomplished when residents work together with the combined support of local organisations. The project, which has already seen success in Daisy Dale, is a joint initiative of Boston Borough Council, South Lincolnshire CVS, Lincolnshire Police, Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue, NHS Lincolnshire, Boston Mayflower, Longhurst Housing, Sure Start and Lincolnshire County Council.

 

Mrs Ashmore, a member of the High Street South Steering Group, said “It’s about tidying the place up, making it a better place to live and ultimately making people happier” With Sue Morrison adding “People have been working together, and it has made a really big difference to the area. The more people we can get involved, the better things will be.”Consultation week will give all of Boston’s residents the opportunity to get involved in the services they use.

Bev Smith, Assistant Director of Community Resources said “The Council is committed to improving its services through listening to residents and finding out what they want from us. We always welcome comments from the public, and this is a perfect opportunity for people to tell us what they think.”

Consultations will be held at the Boston Markets on Wednesday 24 June and Saturday 27 June, and at the Assembly Rooms between 6.30pm and 9pm on Tuesday 23 June. Questionnaires will also be available online at www.boston.gov.uk/haveyoursay If you would like further information on how you can have your say about council services then please contact Hiedi Wilkinson, Consultation Officer, on 01205 314263.

Consultation will include the following services: Council Tax services; Business rates services; Sports and cultural services; Equalities and fairness; Housing benefits; Democratic services; Service standards; Customer services; Green waste collection; Housing strategy; Youth council; Community safety
