The survey aims to establish what the people of the district like to do in their spare time, independently, with family, friends, partners and colleagues.

Councillor Michael Graham, Wakefield Council’s cabinet member for regeneration and economic growth, said: “One of our key priorities is to bring new and exciting social, leisure and entertainment options into the city centre and give our high streets and local economy a real boost.

“We want to know what you want before we make any decisions. People have already suggested indoor bowling, crazy golf and soft play centres for younger children, so if you have any other ideas, please get involved and fill in the survey.”

All residents are invited to subscribe to the regeneration newsletter, which provides regular updates on all of the projects happening across the district. However, email addresses used to subscribe to the newsletter are not linked to the survey, so the council is encouraging as many residents as possible to go online and share their thoughts.
