As the development of the Town Deal projects gathers pace, young people and business owners are being invited to have their say to shape plans that will bring benefits for the future of the town.
Launching today is a survey that invites ideas from 16–25-year-olds on what they would like to see in King’s Lynn. And, also now open for feedback is consultation for small businesses – existing and future - on potential pop-up shops in King’s Lynn.
Young People Survey: Young people are being asked to help to shape the future of King’s Lynn – and have the chance to win shopping vouchers simply by having their say.
16-25s are being invited to share their thoughts on what they’d like to see in the town, what they think is missing, and their views on career opportunities in King’s Lynn: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/72MFRQQ
Everyone who fills in the survey can also enter into a prize draw to win £50 in shopping vouchers.
Involving young people in the development of the projects is crucial as Chair of the Town Deal Board Graham Purkins explained: “We have such a huge opportunity with the Town Deal funding to bring significant improvements to King’s Lynn – and we want these improvements to benefit everyone.
“Which is why we need to hear from young people in the area, to understand what matters to them, what they would like to see, and what could be better so our plans can reflect their needs.
“If you’re aged 16 to 25, please do spare just a few minutes to tell us what you think. We are listening.”
Harry Seaton, Managing Director of Fluential gave his support for the consultation: “As a local business owner within the 16-25 age bracket, it's wonderful to be able to have a voice when it comes to shaping the future of the town.
“I've lived in Kings Lynn since I was born, with the exception of a few months, and I'm hoping other young people will join me in creating a town we want to stick around in.
Young people can also sign up for other opportunities to get involved through the survey, should they wish to do so
The closing date for the survey is 5pm on Sunday 24 October 2021.
