Speaking to the community about the future of Burton Market Hall
Welcome to Burton Market Hall's Local Urban Room, a space to have a say in the future of your town.
Urban Rooms are friendly, inclusive spaces that bring people together to discuss and co-design their places, in person and online.
Here you can explore and share ideas about your place and we will share these with local decision makers to influence internal processes on your behalf and bringing the community along to input in the big decisions about their place.
Everything you contribute will inform the next steps for the Market Hall. So spread the word, join the conversation and HAVE YOUR SAY.

Can't make it to one of our pop up events? Take the survey here to give us your thoughts and ideas.
Our goal is to give your feedback about your place the platform it deserves. We will document what you say and report back to local decision-makers, helping you (and them) to co-design your place.
Map how you experience the Market Hall and its surrounding area with our sensory Mapping Tool!
We want to know:
What the psychological barriers are to you entering the Hall
How it connects to the rest of the High Street and local retail offer.
What the footflow of people is like in the area
What might need to change to make the area more accessible
Everything you share will be fed back to your local Council to inform decision making.
Double click at points of interest on the map to tell us all about that area.
Having your say is easy. Choose a sense icon or share a general feeling or idea with us, fill in the caption and submit your thoughts!
