Have Your Say

The focus of Pride in Place is to empower local people to have a clear voice in their community and to take control of the changes being made: your voice matters!

The Wecock Neighbourhood Board will seek out diverse perspectives by engaging with and attending meetings of existing local groups, networks and community organisations

They are also looking for views from residents, young people, businesses, community and faith groups, and any and all members of the local Wecock community

All feedback will be collected and reviewed, formally presented to the board, and used to help shape final decisions

You can find out more about how to have your say by emailing prideinplace@havant.gov.uk.
