Councillors agreed at a Full Council meeting to launch a new community survey focused on understanding the experiences, priorities, and needs of older residents in Ludlow. As our population changes, it’s important that we gather up‑to‑date insight into what helps people live well here—whether that relates to outdoor spaces, transport, housing, social opportunities, or access to local services.

To support this work, the Council is drawing on the Age-friendly Community Survey developed by the Centre for Ageing Better, adapting it to reflect Ludlow’s local context. The findings will help shape future planning and ensure that Ludlow remains a place where people of all ages can thrive.

The survey is open until Friday 12th June and can be completed online via the link below. For those who prefer a paper copy, printed surveys are available to collect from the Guildhall during opening hours.

Your voice matters. By taking part, you’ll be helping us build a clearer picture of what older residents value most—and where improvements could make a real difference.

Paper copies are available from The Guildhall, Mill Street, Ludlow.
