Case Study: Sefton Council drives public engagement for Southport’s future with Delib’s Citizen Space

Sefton Council - Customer Case Study

Sefton Council needed to conduct widespread community engagement to support its bid for funding from the UK government's Towns Fund. The challenge was to gather public feedback on five major proposals for Southport and demonstrate this engagement was done thoroughly, especially during the restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Delib provided its Citizen Space platform, and the council uniquely leveraged its configurable hub feature to create a dynamic consultation site. This allowed them to present detailed information, images, and project ideas in an accessible and visually appealing way. The solution was highly successful, generating over 2,100 responses and enabling further engagement with key stakeholders. This successful consultation supported Sefton Council's ultimately successful bid for government funding to regenerate Southport.
