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 happened next?
Over 500 people took part in our 2024 conversations about life in Meltham. We held feedback sessions in Autumn 2025 for the community to see the results and give their views on what the priority actions should be.
Based on further views from over 130 people Meltham Town Council have agreed actions and approved a budget as part of their Town Council Plan.
