Hands on Housing: West End Community Housing Consultation

JavaScript isn't enabled in your browser, so this file can't be opened. Enable and reload.

We'd really like to hear from you, your thoughts and experiences of living in the West End related to housing.
The Good Things Collective & West End Morecambe have been raising some of the issues working with advisors and Lancaster City Council over the last year or so based on feedback we've had from community members. We hope to continue to work together with wider community input to make positive changes to the housing offer in the area.

The time has come where we need more structured and wider input. This will help us to pull together useful information and evidence to better understand what needs to change, what the top priority issues are and what the best ways to do something about it may be.

We won't be passing on your personal data, but we will share anonymised data and statistics with people that can help. You can share your contact info if you're happy to so we can keep you up to date with what happens next with housing, but there is no pressure. Feel free to leave that blank if you'd rather never hear from us again!

Information is stored in line with GDPR guidelines and will not be used for any purpose other than working collectively to see improvements with housing locally.

A community housing project?

There are current discussions about a community housing project that could purchase some housing / property on behalf of the community. Community-led housing projects are popping up, up and down the country and are evidenced to have multiple positive benefits for the the people that move in but also the wider community and area.
This section will help us gain an understanding of your views and possible support for a community housing project in Morecambe.

If a community housing project was to happen here, which of the possible benefits do you think it should focus on?

Training for local people through refurbishment of properties,

Completed property rented at affordable rents,

Better quality / safer property

Housing that is sold below market rates

Schemes to enable people to get on the housing ladder and own or part own their own property
