Age Friendly Banbury Consultation 2023

Overview

AFB (Age friendly Banbury) is an exciting joint initiative to make Banbury a great place to grow older. There are already some great groups and opportunities for older people in Banbury, but for some older people poor transport, unsuitable housing, fear of crime, lack of community cohesion, limited care and support and difficulty finding or getting to social activities can get in the way of enjoying their later years.

We consulted with residents in 2018, since when there have been some significant changes in circumstances due to the pandemic, the cost-of-living crisis and through personal circumstances. It is time to learn whether the main concerns you described 5 years ago have changed, so that we can understand how partners can best respond to those needs.

Once again, we would like to know what you think are the main things that will help make Banbury a great place to grow old. We have arranged the survey in eight headings which relate to the categories recognized by the Global Network of Age Friendly Cities and Communities.

Please tell us what you think by completing this confidential survey.

Do Note:

The Council reserves the right to review, and if necessary, reverse any decision if information identified, at initial decision is deemed incorrect.
