We asked you about life in Meltham
Your Meltham Town Council and volunteers have been finding out what really matters to you in Meltham. Thank you to everyone who has already got involved in Ask Meltham for sharing your experiences of life in Meltham and your ideas for the future.
Our first Ask Meltham activities were in 2019. We know that our local area is continuing to change, so five years on we thought it would be a good idea to see what progress you think we’ve made, and to hear what’s changed for you. Whether you took part before or if you are new to Ask Meltham, please get involved to tell us how you feel.
You can now see what people told us in the Ask Meltham results summary

What’s happening now?
Over 500 people took part in our 2024 conversations about life in Meltham. We now want to share the results with you and ask for your views on the priority actions for the next 5 years.
The actions will be part of the Meltham Town Council Plan, working with the local community and partners.
Come and join a drop-in session to find out more about what we’ve learned from citizens and help decide what happens next, based on these ideas. Everyone is welcome.
Join us at one of our drop-in sessions during September.
