Newsome Voices

We asked you about life in Newsome

Your Newsome ward councillors and the Newsome Centre team have been finding out what really matters to you in Newsome, and what your hopes are for the future.

Thank you to everyone who has already got involved in Newsome Voices for sharing your experiences of life in Newsome and your ideas for the future.

What happened next?

Kirklees Council helped to analyse what everyone has told us. We then shared the full results on this website and also invited our participants and other local people to come and see the results at the Growing Newsome Autumn Event in October 2023.

Your ward councillors, along with Kirklees Council staff, have created an action plan for the area, based on local people’s priorities. We’re keen to continue working with people in Newsome, to support the action plan and ensure it reflects things you said are a priority for our area.
