People living in a West Cumbrian coastal village are being asked to help shape its future.
Cumberland Council has launched a survey for the villagers of Allonby, near Maryport, and those who work there, to find out what they like about it and what can be improved.
It follows a recent engagement workshop held in the village.
The survey is available until midnight on Monday January 12.
Cllr Tony Markley is chair of the council’s Fells and Solway Community Panel, which is hosting the event and survey.
He said: “We had lots of really useful feedback from our recent engagement event in the village. Now we want to reach more people by offering an online survey.
“We are looking for views on all aspects of village life – everything from how easy it is to get around, to whether green spaces are accessible and attractive.
“The survey also looks at local facilities such as doctors, shops and community groups, as well as the economy and housing.
“We want to understand opportunities for social interaction, how safe people feel in the community, and whether the village feels well cared for.
“This is your chance to tell us what you value about Allonby and share your ideas for making it even better. I’d encourage anyone who lives and works in the village to have their say.”
The findings from the event and survey will be shared at a drop-in event on Saturday January 24 from 10am to noon at Allonby Village Hall.
