We asked you what life in Meltham, Helme and Wilshaw is like. Over 700 people took part in our conversations. We’d like to say thank you to the team of 30 amazing volunteers who went out and made these conversations possible – and thank you to everyone who took part.
Together we used a tool called the “Place Standard”, which is a way of helping to get conversations going about any place (it could be your street, neighbourhood or town), by using some simple questions.
Who participated?
Town councillors, local volunteers and staff from Kirklees Council talked to groups, individuals and businesses about our area. We had conversations in many local places, including Meltham Library, St Bartholomew’s, Robert Ashton Memorial Park, Meltham Sports and Community Centre, Scar Green Sheltered Housing and the Crossroads Centre. We talked with local groups such as Walkers are Welcome and with children at Meltham CE, Meltham Moor and Helme CE schools. We also had conversations at local cafes, bus stops, shops and local businesses. 242 people took part online.
