Welcome to WCC's Consultation Pages.

We asked for the opinions of Winchester City Council Tenants on using online surveys as another way of collecting tenant views, and whether receiving an incentive would increase engagement.

Would you be interested in receiving short online surveys?

• 67% of respondents said ‘yes’
• 16% said ‘no’
• 16% wanted to know more first
• (the question was not answered by 0.7% of respondents).

Would you be more likely to return a survey if you received a reward?

• 43% of all respondents said ‘yes’
• 38% said ‘no’
• 19% said they wanted to know more first
• (the question was not answered by 0.7% of respondents).

We looked at the age demographics for the questions above. Of particular note is the difference in responses between the Under 55 and Over 55 age groups.

•  Under 55 age group
  • 60% Yes
  • 22% No
  • 18% Want to know more first
  • (the question was not answered by 0.5% of respondents)
• Over 55 age group
  • 29% Yes
  • 52% No
  • 18% Want to know more first
  • (the question as not answered by 0.8% of respondents)

68 of the respondents received a further email responding to their request for more information regarding being an Involved Tenant.

A focus group to investigate the possibility of a reward scheme is being organised.

Future online consultations with tenants are in the pipe line.

We asked for your opinions on the play area at Taplings Road. We also spoke to the school council at Weeke Primary School and attendees at the Weeke Weekend event.

All the information provided will be used to draw up a quotation brief which will be sent to play companies in September for them to produce a design idea for the new play area.  Once we have the designs a public consultation event will be arranged around October time so that residents have the opportunity to see the options and chose which one they would like installed. 

Purpose of Consultation - To consult with local people on confirming parish council arrangements to better serve the new housing the West of Waterlooville Major Development Area. 

Scope and Methodology  - This consultation was undertaken in line with the legal framework of Part 4 of the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007.   To engage local residents, the key issues were presented in a information letter that was delivered to all households in the proposed parish council area. Two information events were also held in two venues in the local area and attendance made at the West of Waterlooville Advisory Group.

The consultation information and questionnaire were published online on WCC’s CitizenSpace portal.  The consultation was open to the public from 5^th March to 22^nd  April 2018.

The consultation received 32 online responses from members of the public.

• There were seven votes for Berewood from those who choose ‘other’ or did not answer.
• There was a vote for Berewood and Wellington Parish Council
• A suggestion of Eastwick
• A request for a name to unite the whole of the MDA, rather than naming it after phases of building homes on the development
• A comment ‘anything but Newlands’

Seven people attended the consultation events.

The results of the consultations including the detailed comments will be reported to the Licensing and Regulation Committee on 14^th June 2018.  This page will be updated with the recommended actions.
