- Region: England
- Community engagement
Introduction
Challenges
Additionally, with only two weeks to conduct the consultation, efficiency and scalability were critical. The council also required tools that allowed for independent reporting and the synthesis of insights, as manual analysis would be impractical under time constraints. Overcoming these hurdles would determine the success of Keighley’s Vision preparation and the prioritisation of projects.
Solutions
Promotion through local press, social media, and leaflets ensured widespread community awareness. The platform’s user-friendly design allowed residents to easily contribute their thoughts on proposed projects, even within the short timeframe. Automated analysis tools distilled results into concise insights, which were presented to council stakeholders regularly, significantly improving efficiency compared to traditional methods.
Results
This successful consultation provided evidence-based data to underpin funding applications and future community collaboration.
The feedback was excellent, I received complimentary comments from both Council officers and members of the public, who agreed on how easy it was to engage with the platform.
