What happened next?
Skelmanthorpe Youth and Community Association, Denby Dale ward councillors and Denby Dale Parish Council, have worked with people throughout Skelmanthorpe to convert the feedback from Chat to Shat into an action plan.
We shared the results then held workshops to decide how we want to improve our village. Together we’ve created the action plan for the area, based on what we’ve learned.
