Liveable Neighbourhoods Quick Fire Survey : Your TOP healthy food needs

Overview

Liveable Neighbourhoods Quick Fire Survey: Your TOP Healthy Food Needs  

Birmingham City Council look after things like bins, parks, schools, and leisure centres in your neighbourhood, and it is currently putting together a Pilot Liveable Neighbourhood Change Strategy and Delivery Plan ( through funding from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund), to improve things in Tyseley and Hay Mills Ward.

The aim of this pilot work is to quite simply;

• Make the area a nicer place to live
• Address local health & economic inequalities and improve wellbeing
• Create thriving local shopping centres 
• Reduce carbon emissions 
• Ensure the right range of services and facilities are are provided to meet the daily needs of the neighbourhood within walking distance of residents homes   

As part of this we want to understand what your needs and requirements are in terms of  accessing  services and facilities locally that supply healthy affordable food within a short walk, cycle, or public transport hop of your home   

To do this we need to ask you a few simple questions which should take no longer than 5 minutes to complete. 

Why your views matter

To acheive the project vision of the pilot we need a deep understanding of the issues local residents are facing in of accessing good quality healthy affordable food locally.   

Getting this right is critical as there is a real opportunity for change through the future East Birmingham and Solihull Investment Zone, the UK Shared Prosperity Fund ( which is funding the majority of this pilot), a devolution deal with the West Midlands Combined Authority focusing on East Birmingham priorities, and business rates retention from the forthcoming Investment Zone

All this means the time has never been better to see real change in the Tyseley and Hay Mills Area and as such it is crucial that  we have quality information to guide how funding from these delivery routes is spent to avoid abortive work, and to ensure it is being allocated where it is most needed.

The Liveable Neighbourhood Change Strategy and Delivery Plan will make clear how these opportunites need to be applied in the ward to deliver a thriving liveable neighbourhood for all its residents.
