Dawdon Community Action Scheme
We are preparing to move into Dawdon where we will be from 6 May until 18 July 2025.
The count indicates there are around 450 properties in this area. We will concentrate on the following streets:
- Fox Street
- Strangways Street
- Ilchester Street
- Stavordale Street
- King Edward Road
- Wynyard Street
- Dawdon Cresent
- Longnewton Street
- Embleton Mews
- Lindisfarne House
- Queen Alexandra Road - partial
- Embankment Road - partial
- Cottages Road - partial
The map shows the area we will cover.
In the first phase of this programme, we ask local groups, residents, and businesses in the local community about what concerns they would like us to tackle together and agree on 3-4 priorities.
In the second phase, we use this information to then plan and carry out 7 weeks of action.
In the final phase, we ask you what impact our actions have had on the area.

Phases
Identifying issues and planning priorities
Our programme officially moves to Dawdon on 6 May 2025.
Please share your views in this first phase, if you live, work or visit this area. You can attend a drop in session, complete the survey online or complete a paper survey.
We want to learn more about what's good about the area, what are the main issues in the area and where do you currently find help with a number of different issues.
Your feedback in this phase will help us identify priorities that we, along with our partners, can take action on in the next phase of this programme. Priorities could include a range of things such as tackling antisocial behaviour, dealing with rubbish, making homes more energy efficient and ways to improve health and wellbeing.
