Trafford Council, GB Urmston Active Neighbourhood Virtual

Trafford Council started with a pre-COVID listening session that generated more than 3,400 comments on walking and cycling plans for Urmston. Residents now use the council's virtual room to find data, suggested solutions, and maps in a format similar to the in-person session. Project leaders conduct webchats with up to 20 participants in each session for additional feedback. Engaged residents can help those without computers understand the planning process as project ambassadors.
