And the winners are…

A few weeks ago, we asked all Blackburn with Darwen residents to take a few minutes to let us know their views and priorities for the future of the borough.

We had almost 2,000 responses to the survey and we’re now busy analysing the results.

Using the results, we are developing a plan for the Council and the borough for the next four years.

There were four incentives up for grabs for filling in the survey, which were:

• 2 x £150 shopping vouchers
• A year’s free gym membership
• A family of 4 ticket to this year’s pantomime at King Georges Hall

Four delighted Blackburn with Darwen residents are the lucky winners and are thrilled to bits about their prizes!

John and Aysha are proud winners of the shopping vouchers, Patricia is the lucky winner of the years free gym membership and Chloe has won the pantomime tickets.

John, who has won £150 of shopping vouchers, said:

“Thank you for the vouchers. I am going to donate these to asylum seekers and refuges in our borough.

I look forward to seeing the feedback of the survey being used to make Blackburn with Darwen an even better place”.

Aysha, another winner of the shopping vouchers, said:

“I truly care about where I live and want to be part of improving things. I care about my local community and the environment and hope that the results of the Residents Survey improves things for us all”.

Patricia, who is looking forward to using her gym membership, said:

“It was a lovely surprise to find out I had won a 12 months subscription voucher for the gym for taking part in the Residents Survey. I am really looking forward to using the voucher!”

Chloe, the proud owner of 4 pantomime tickets, said:

“I care about where I live and so wanted to fill in the survey to help improve things. I’m looking forward to watching the pantomime later this year”.

Leader of the Council, Phil Riley, said:

“I want to thank every resident who took the time to complete our Residents Survey.

We will use the feedback to shape the Council’s priorities and create a plan to help improve the lives of residents’ in the borough, support businesses as well as deliver high quality services.

Well done to our winners!”
