Exhibition and Discussion Groups February/March 2015

During February/March 2015 an exhibition including 6 discussion group sessions was held over a 4 week period. The exhibition was open on a variety of dates, days and times to ensure all those who wished to attend had the opportunity.

The purpose was:

  • To update the residents of the parish and businesses of the ideas that had been developed by the NDP (Steering Group and volunteers)
  • To get feedback on the ideas and any other suggestions to inform and help refine

The exhibition presented option and ideas on 11 themes. In addition there was a welcome panel  and a display describing the next steps.

A ‘Where Do You Live’ pin map was used to identify where the visitors came from within the parish.

Feedback cards relating to each of the themes were available for visitors to the exhibition to record their preferred options and to comment/make suggestions.

Rapporteurs recorded views discussed and the Questions and Answers raised during the discussion sessions.

All the comments received and discussion notes were catalogued into themes, each theme was analysed and reviewed. The report and comments/notes analysis were published   on the NDP website and in paper form in the Mortimer library after the questionnaire was completed. The timing was on the advice of WBC to avoid influencing responses to the questionnaire. The availability of the results was advertised in the window as above, on NDP and Mortimer Village Partnership Facebook pages and on the websites.
