Have your say on Better Ageing Plan IF you live or work in South Gloucestershire the council would like to hear your views on the South Gloucestershire Ageing Better Plan. The Ageing Better Plan will set out the key priorities for organisations that work with older people over the next five years and the council would like everyone to contribute. From ageing well by keeping active to falls prevention advice and maintaining independence without feeling isolated, residents can tell officers what you think is important. Cabinet Member for adult care in South Gloucestershire Cllr Ben Stokes said: “With the 65 and older age group predicted to increase, we want to ensure that South Gloucestershire continues to be a great place
to grow old. This plan will help the council and our partners prioritise the support older people require. “This is why we are keen to hear views from as wide a range of people as possible; tell us what you think of the plan, including how it could be improved, if we've left out anything that you think is a crucial issue, or how you'd like to get involved in making it happen.” To get involved and have your say you can read the draft Ageing Better Plan and complete, or download and print, a copy of the survey. The draft plan and consultation documents are available online at www.southglos.gov.uk/ AgeingBetter, from your local South Gloucestershire library or One Stop Shop.
The consultation runs until January 12, 2018. You can find out more, tell us your views or request hard copies via the following: Email: consultation@ southglos.gov.uk Telephone: 01454868154
