Making Burley More Accessible and Inclusive

So much of what happens in Burley isn't always as visible as the brilliant Burley Summer Festival, the Christmas Lights installation and switch-on, the Market and Craft Fair, or the Duck Race. There's a huge amount of work that goes on behind the scenes - powered by residents, volunteers, local groups and businesses who genuinely care about making Burley the best it can be.

Accessibility has been one our village priorities for a long time. At the end of last year, Dr Caroline Rayment highlighted the need to make Burley more accessible and inclusive for everyone, while making sure that any changes are realistic and sustainable.

Since then, a number of village organisations have been chatting informally about what this could look like. Those early conversations have identified some important themes - from physical access and sensory needs to social connection, communication and making sure people feel welcome everywhere in the village.

The Burley Summer Festival—with its focus on community, wellbeing and togetherness— feels like the perfect time to ask you, as a Burley resident, what you need from your village.

We'd love to hear thoughts, ideas and experiences, and to know how you might like to be involved in shaping positive change through this survey: https://tally.so/r/1A05LO

This work will be a collaboration between Grange Park Surgery, Burley Parish Council, Dementia Friendly Burley, Walkers Are Welcome, Burley in Wharfedale Community Trust, our local churches, schools, other organisations and, most importantly, you.
