Youngsters are being asked to have their say on what it’s like to grow up in Westmorland and Furness.
The council said it is working to make the area a more fun, safe, and supportive place for children and young people and is asking for ideas to make it happen.
It has launched two anonymous surveys, one for seven to 11 year olds and one for 11 to 17 year olds, that are open until April 30.
It wants to hear what youngsters enjoy, what they think needs to change and what would make things better for young people and their friends.
Councillor Janet Battye, cabinet member for children’s services, said: “You know better than anyone what it’s like to grow up here. We want to hear your ideas and your experiences so we can make Westmorland and Furness a place where every young person feels supported and able to thrive.
“Please take a few minutes to fill in the survey — your voice can help shape a child friendly future.”
Mil Vasic, director of children’s services, added: “We want to make things better for children and young people and the best way to do that is by listening to you. What you tell us in this survey will help decide what happens next, from activities and spaces to support and services.
“This is your chance to speak up and help shape a future in Westmorland and Furness that works for you.”
