Bristol City Council has launched a new survey, giving citizens the opportunity to help shape the future of the city as it rebuilds following lockdown and adapts to the challenges posed by COVID-19.

‘Your City, Our Future’ seeks views and ideas from citizens and community groups that will contribute to the city’s recovery plan. The first part of the project is a city-wide survey finding out how people’s lives have changed and what can be learnt from how citizens have travelled, worked and spent leisure time over the past few months.

CEO of Up Our Street, Stacy Yelland said: “The community and voluntary sector has been pivotal in supporting citizens since the start of the pandemic. We now have a great opportunity to help shape Bristol’s future by making sure VCS and the groups we work with are at the heart of our recovery”.

The survey is open until 9 September and will culminate in a Citizen’s Assembly where one hundred people representing every part of the city will come together to tackle the city’s most important issues.
