This report was written by Healthwatch Bolton as part of a wider engagement project on neighbourhood assets. A set of discussion groups were held to ask Bolton neighbourhood areas what they thought about their local assets. This is the main report for the piece of work in which 9 areas are covered. The report was published December, 2017. It is based on discussions with local people. A total of 262 people were engaged with. Overall sentiment was mixed. A number of assets were identified as existing locally, this is a platform on which healthier lives can be led. On the other hand people identified a range of challenges such as a lack of involvement in big decisions, not feeling informed, services being hard to access or lacking that were barriers to maintaining good health. While recommendations are not made a set of conclusions is given. No response from providers is attached, though this project does not engage with a single provider of services.
