You’ve done Sheppey proud yet again!

Sheppey Matters have  been involved in a really exciting opportunity for all the Residents and Businesses of the Island to get involved in shaping the growth of Sheppey.  The Government’s Coastal Communities fund has enabled us to prepare a detailed plan identifying the problems we face in helping our economy to grow.
Under the banner of “Sheppey Proud” a team of local people lead by Sheppey Matters have put together a survey, with the aim to consult with interested parties right across the Island identifying community concerns and listening to residents’ ideas on what they want to see on Sheppey.
This consultation process, finished on the 15th November 2015 and forms the backbone of our research and will feature heavily in our final presentation to the Government to hopefully unlock further funding to kick start these improvements.

The consultation has now been concluded and we are awaiting the results. Well done to everyone who submitted their feedback; over 300 replies have been registered on the on-line survey and there are more paper copies to collect from across the Island. We can assure you that everyone’s opinion will be registered. Once the full analysis is complete we will share the findings.
Focus groups, made up of the business community, local residents, health, employment, training and educational professionals together with the voluntary and community sector will now be evaluating the feedback and pulling together the themes that are resonating with people.

Their conclusions will provide the evidence for the Economic Development Plan that will be published at the end of January 2016.
