THE HARD TRUTH
Research shows that even where there was some disaffection the village has a strong identity and people fiercely defend their reputation.
The priorities identified are crime and safety, employment and health and wellbeing.
Most feedback (measured by amount of responses) concerned the environment in the village.
Where employment was prioritised as the second most important area, local residents struggled to identify solutions. This is not surprising as solutions to physical environment as easy to describe and employment could be
assessed as much more problematic to tackle.
