Case Study: Sefton Council boosts Southport consultation engagement with Delib’s Citizen Space

Sefton Council wins 2,100 responses with Delib for Southport planning consultations

Sefton Council faced the challenge of demonstrating community engagement for its bid to the UK government's Towns Fund. They needed to gather wide public feedback on five 'Big Ideas' for the future of Southport, a requirement made more difficult by COVID-19 restrictions on in-person events.

Delib's Citizen Space platform provided a configurable hub that allowed the council to create a dynamic and visually appealing consultation. This solution gathered approximately 2,100 responses and facilitated further stakeholder engagement. Delib's tool was instrumental in helping Sefton Council secure successful funding in 2021 to revitalize Southport.
