We Love Prestwood survey word cloud

During March and April 2026, PCA invited all Prestwood residents and stakeholders to complete Prestwood Community Association’s ‘#WeLovePrestwood’ survey.

Residents’ opinions were sought to guide future plans for Prestwood, and help build a stronger, more vibrant community together.

The results and comments were collated and analysed. Meetings were organised to allow all residents and stakeholders to learn of the results, add further observations, and discuss ways forward.

These were held on Saturday 30th May at Prestwood Community Centre, and on Thursday 4th June at Prestwood Methodist Church.

The presentation made at these meetings is available to view or download – click slide image or download button.

The PCA Committee is now working on a detailed analysis which will help focus its activities. Survey responses showed a gratifying level of interest in volunteering, and the Committee will shortly be contacting respondents and others with a comprehensive list of opportunities.


Why a survey?

The consultation sought to find out what matters most to Prestwood residents and our community.

By sharing visions and ideas, we strive to achieve:

  • a strong, caring, happy and resilient village
  • a common purpose to inspire community participation and volunteering
  • an evidence base to support funding applications.

Who participated in the Prestwood Community Survey?

Everyone with an interest in Prestwood – all residents, businesses and stakeholders, of all ages- was invited to contribute their thoughts and ideas.

The survey was publicised via multiple methods, including many meet-and-greet sessions. 316 responses were received.
