Communities Day - Cosham High Street - Feedback

The community Engagement team were at the Communities day held in Cosham High Street on Friday 22^nd between 10am and 3pm promoting the How to… guides, Portsmouth LINk and Neighbourhood forums. 

In order to identify neighbourhood priorities people were given 3 voting cards and asked to identify the priorities for improvement within their local area – the options and results of the 116 people who voted were as follows:-

Neighbourhood priorities	%	Actual
Traffic/ Parking/Public transport	25.86%	90
Youth Facilities/Activities	19.83%	69
Streets – Cleaning/Look/Repair	15.80%	55
Development/Planning/Housing	14.94%	52
Open spaces/Parks/Environment	14.66%	51
Meetings/Family events/Activities	8.91%	31
Total	100.00%	348

We also had a couple of requests for improvements to social services, a report of selling cars in the street and a report of a damaged bus stop sign which have been passed on.

Many other people stopped to ask questions and take literature without taking part in the voting process meaning over 150 people were seen on the day.  Also 37 people left their email addresses in order to receive additional information about the Portsmouth LINk.
