UK Network of Age-friendly Communities Survey

As our population changes, it’s important that we understand what helps people to live well in Ludlow—whether that’s access to outdoor spaces, transport, social opportunities, or local services. To support this work, we are drawing on the Age-friendly Community Survey developed by the Centre for Ageing Better, focussing primarily on the experiences and priorities of older residents. Your feedback will help shape future planning and ensure Ludlow remains a place where people can thrive.
