Newsome Voices
This summer the Newsome Voices team asked you to share your experiences of life in Newsome and your hopes for the future of our area. This included thinking about our climate, our wildlife and green spaces, our local heritage, our voice and influence, and our connections with each other. Over 300 people have taken part. Come along to our Autumn Event to get a first look at the results and find out how you can get involved in what happens next.
