Cambridge City Council

Putting residents and communities at the heart of the conversation

As part of our council’s transformation programme, Our Cambridge, we are working with partners, our residents and communities to help everyone in the city live safe, happy and healthy lives.

This also includes creating new relationships and developing new ways of working with our partners and communities to better deliver our future council and improved outcomes for everyone. We want to work with our residents to collectively create a better city.

Share what matters to you

We would like you to tell us about the things that are important to you and your family.

Please take part in our short survey that is open until 26 March 2023 and enter the draw to win £100 Love Cambridge Voucher for taking part.

We’re putting residents and communities at the heart of the conversation. This will help to build that picture for the future and define our future role in ensuring the city continues to be a great place to live and work.

We will use all of the information to help us understand what’s important to our residents and communities.

If you cannot access the internet at home or need help to complete the survey, we can provide a paper copy that you can return to us in the post.

If you also need the survey in another format, please contact us on 01223 457000 or email cpo@cambridge.gov.uk.

Have your say - Online focus group workshop

We’ve been working with partners, and people across Cambridge, to create a picture sharing what we all collectively want Cambridge to be like in the future – our aspirations for the future.

We would like to invite you to attend a focus group workshop to discuss the themes emerging from the survey and other community conversations and share your feedback about our Cambridge Together City Rich Picture visual [PDF, 7.5MB] – including what’s important, what’s critical and where the council, partners and community groups should focus our attention in the future.

The online workshops are being facilitated by Linda Thomas of Futurebright Solutions who is supporting the Council in delivering this phase of engagement.
