Shropshire Health and wellbeing survey
The survey aims to seek the views from people of all ages living in and around Bridgnorth, Church Stretton, Cleobury Mortimer and Craven Arms, around what makes somewhere a good place to live, what are the biggest concerns and what can be most improved.
The call-to-action forms part of the council’s ongoing Joint Strategic Needs assessments (JSNA) programme. All councils are required undertake a JSNA to assess the health and social care needs of the local population to help improve the physical and mental wellbeing of Shropshire’s residents and communities and is carried out in partnership with the voluntary and community sector and the local NHS.
Councillor Cecilia Motley, Shropshire Council Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care and Public Health said:
“As a council we must carry out assessments to find out the health and wellbeing needs of our communities, to help us to plan and commission the best possible services for residents.
So far, we have been able to use the results of the surveys to build a detailed overview of the health and wellbeing needs in six of our market towns and surrounding areas, and this has already led to positive planning outcomes that will benefit the lives of the people who live there.”
Following on from the success of our last Place Based JSNA launches, the next round of community engagement is taking part in Bridgnorth, Church Stretton, Cleobury Mortimer and Craven Arms.
We want communities in and around these towns, to help us and our partners understand what community, health and wellbeing means for you. Tell us the good and not so good where you live. You know you and your community needs best, so do please let us know by completing our survey and encourage your family and friends in the area to do the same.
Your views are vital to help us, and our partners ensure your communities have access to support and opportunities that are right for you.
Like with many councils across the UK, we are facing unprecedented financial challenges, and this insight will more than ever, help us in ensuring that we are able to meet our communities current and future needs.”
