Recently closed consultations
Open Space and Recreational Facilities Survey
We asked residents, businesses and interested parties for their opinions on public open space in the borough.
Public open space provides opportunities for sport and recreation, socialising, tourism and wildlife, making an important contribution to the health and well-being of communities, ecosystems and economies.
Up-to-date information is needed in order to ensure that there is adequate provision of accessible, high quality open spaces that meet the needs and aspirations of local communities, local people and people who work in or visit the borough.
Community Safety Survey
The Oadby & Wigston Community Safety Partnership is made up of a range of organisations who work together to make the Borough a safer place to live, work and visit.
These organisations, including Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service, Leicestershire Police, and Oadby & Wigston Borough Council, recognise that by combining resources, experience, and knowledge the Partnership can offer an enhanced approach to tackling issues and concerns with the Borough, and offer a greater level of value for money within the work it undertakes or commissions.
The Partnership is committed to listening to your views so we can improve our services and tackle the concerns that are most important to our community.
Interim Polling Districts, Places and Stations Review (2023)
More information on this review is available on our dedicated webpage.
2023/24 Budget Setting
Every year the Council must set a balanced budget. We do this by assessing what changes we need to make to last year’s budget, based on our plans for the future and expected changes to our income or expenditure, and presenting a new budget for local Councillors to approve in 2023.
Before this, we are inviting residents, tenants, businesses and organisations to comment on our draft budgets. The results will be fed back to the elected Councillors who are responsible for setting the budget, for them to consider before the budget is approved.
This consultation closed on Friday 27 January.
Customer Service Experience Strategy
In spring 2023 the borough council will relocate its primary offices to Brocks Hill Country Park, Oadby. The council sees this as an ideal opportunity to re-evaluate our customer service offering and develop a new Customer Experience Strategy, which will be reviewed on an annual basis.
We are driven to find to the correct balance between encouraging and advancing our digital customer service offer while also ensuring those that are unable to contact us in this way have direct access to the support they need.
The proposal has two elements:
- Element 1 – Establishing a well-balanced, high-quality digital, phone and face-to-face customer service offer.
- Element 2 – Enhancing and maximising our digital customer service offer.
The consultation closed on Friday 23 December 2022.
