We Asked, You Said, We Did

We would like to thank all those who took the time to submit their ideas. You can read the full findings in the OPM Call for Evidence Report.

Delivery Units have reviewed the findings and considered the implications for their service areas. They are also looking at how they can act on what was said, and utilise any resource that has been offered in terms of organisations and individuals supporting the council in providing services.

The findings from the first phase of resident and service user research has provided a rich evidence base of residents’ priorities, what residents value most, their ideas for generating income, and how local people can work together. As a result the council has been able to identify broad themes based on residents' views and involvement which has been used to help focus the council's future long term spending plans. The research will help inform the council’s overarching strategic priorities and commissioning plans to the end of the decade.
