Leave your message after the tone and shape Our Greenwich
We’re opening Our Greenwich (OG) phone booths to give residents the chance to share their priorities for the borough and shape our upcoming annual plan.
Our Greenwich
To mark one year of Our Greenwich, the council’s four-year joint vision with residents for the borough, we’re going to be out and about over the next few weeks to show our progress and get feedback on what we should be prioritising in our 2024-5 annual plan Our annual plan provides an update on our 20 missions and sets out our priorities over the next year.
One of Our Greenwich’s missions is for the council to be better at listening to communities and that communities feel heard, and we’re putting that into action by establishing special phone booths with a direct line to our OG voicemail.
Every message left will be listened to and used alongside other resident feedback to shape our annual progress report to make sure we’re heading in the right direction on all our key themes.
Councillor Anthony Okereke, Leader of the Royal Borough of Greenwich, said: “Our Greenwich is exactly that, it’s ours. This borough belongs to everyone and we’ve been doing our best over the last year to focus on what you told us was important.
“A lot can change in 12 months and so we want to keep this conversation going. Over the next few weeks we’re going to be on high streets, outside stations and in community spaces listening to you, and showing you what we’ve been doing.
“We want to hear from as many people as possible, so you can also leave us a message by heading to one of our OG phone booths. Tell us a bit about yourself and where you want us to focus to help shape our annual plan and the Council’s priorities for 2024-5!"
Phone booths will be at various locations across the borough including the Woolwich (26 February), Greenwich, (27 February) and Eltham Centres (TBC).
We will also be setting up pop-up engagement events at various locations across the borough over the next month speaking to residents. Keep an eye on our social media channels to see where and when.
Some residents will be contacted by a third-party polling company too. Enventure Research will be polling over 1,000 residents over the next few weeks to find out about their satisfaction with, and views about, the local area.
Our Greenwich was adopted in January 2023. Based around a series of missions that are split into five themes, the plan was developed after extensive engagement with residents, staff and partner organisations.
Leave your feedback online by 18 March.
