Belonging, culture and identity in Bishop Auckland

Background

The Bishop Auckland Towns Fund is part of a a £3.6 billion fund established by the government to level up towns and cities around the country. As the Bishop Auckland programme progresses, we continue to talk to you to identify projects and funding opportunities that can be delivered in the town.

What we are doing now

We want to continually learn about peoples' sense of community belonging and the key features that make Bishop Auckland unique, as well as understand how people interact with local cultural and heritage places and events within the area. To support this ongoing work and long-term planning for the area we are conducting a survey to understand how people who live, work or visit, feel about Bishop Auckland.

What happens next

The information collected will be used to increase our understanding of how people currently interact and feel about the area to continue to help inform priorities and assessments regarding investment in local heritage and cultural initiatives.
