The Big Conversation is back and it’s getting local

Ey up. Howay. Alright. However you say hello, we’re bringing the Big Local Conversation to your community this September.

On 15 and 16 September, Accent colleagues will be out and about, spending time in local communities across 43 areas and talking to customers about what matters where you live.

We want to hear what you love about your area, what’s working well and what could be better. That could be anything from repairs, parking and communal spaces to paths, gates, bins or dog fouling.

You’ve told us you want Accent to be more visible in your communities and to have more local, informal conversations, so that’s exactly what we’re doing.

There’s no survey to fill in and no formal meeting to attend. Just a chance to have a chat, share what matters to you and tell us what you’d like to see improve.

And we won’t just listen and walk away. What you tell us will help shape local action plans and future improvements in your community.

Not everyone will want to stop for a chat, and that’s absolutely fine. There’ll be other ways to share your views too.

We’ll see you out and about on 15 and 16 September.

Where we are heading:

Join the conversation and tell us what matters in your community. Share your views here:
