Over the past 12 months, Sharefirst CIC has actively participated in the programme of scheduled public consultations, including the Statement of Community Involvement, the Supplementary Planning Document Statement, the Glossop Active Travel Masterplan, and the Sites Nomination Form. Additionally, there were meetings organised to reinvigorate joint efforts on Designated Funds, enhancing safe multi user access and strengthening community communication as construction of the A57 Link Roads progresses. The Sharefirst "My Journey to School" Community Active Travel Award initiative continued to promote sustainable travel. As part of this delivered Countryside Code leaflets to local school staff, supporting curriculum activities and raising awareness about the safe and enjoyable use of outdoor spaces. This has now extended to Derbyshire Bus Service Improvement Plan. Sharefirst remains committed to repurposing vacant properties, with significant collective progress made in bringing empty spaces back into use. Most recently, we have focused on enhancing biodiversity to further support our mission of creating sustainable environmental improvements.
Key Engagement Outcomes 1. Community Input and Representation Sharefirst actively engages with residents across North Derbyshire and Tameside, with a particular focus on the Glossop community as a resident in Glossop of over 30 years. These discussions continue to enhance insights into local needs and aspirations, ensuring community voice and initiatives that are both pragmatic, relevant and impactful. Feedback from public consultations, community forums and experience helps informs decisions and input on both community initiatives and regional projects such as the A57 Link Roads and the Derbyshire Bus Service Improvement Plan, emphasising improved accessibility, safety, and sustainability and an independent and community viewpoint. 2. Advancing Sustainable Travel Through ongoing discussions with stakeholders, Sharefirst has collaborated towards integrated transport networks to encourage active travel, reduce carbon emissions, and promote healthier lifestyles. As a key stakeholder collaboration with local schools has been a key focus, particularly through: community forums and elected members meetings; delivery of Countryside Code leaflets to support planned curriculum activity; promoting ticketing offers for local bus travel particularly the discounted student b-line card and discount bus fares. In collaboration with staff at school Sharefirst introduced the Sharefirst My Journey to School Community Active Travel Award. This initiative not only highlights the importance of walking and cycling to school but also continues to support school active travel plans, advancement of school Modeshift STARS accreditation and instils sustainable habits in future generations. 3. Strengthening Community Well-being Sharefirst’s efforts extend beyond environmental benefits to encompass broader community well-being. By advocating for safe, green routes and accessible public rights of way, the organisation enhances the quality of life for residents. Educational initiatives, such as distributing Countryside Code leaflets to schools, further promote the responsible and enjoyable use of natural spaces, fostering a sense of community stewardship. 4. Collaborative Partnerships Connecting with High Peak Green Network and High Peak Biodiversity Network have enriched the sustainability agenda. These collaborations ensure that diverse perspectives are included, strengthening the impact of Sharefirst’s initiatives. Stakeholder discussions have also explored ways to increase bus passenger numbers and optimise bus travel, by integrating safety improvements and accessibility to enhance local transport options and connectivity for both leisure and essential services. Advocacy for Key Projects Sharefirst has been an active voice in consultations surrounding major infrastructure projects, including the National Highways A57 Link Roads. The organisation continues to advocate for: The enhanced integration of green routes and opportunities to maintain connectivity and improve communications as construction of A57 Link Roads has started; Retention and enhancement of public rights of way to maintain community connectivity. Ensuring that biodiversity and natural surroundings are preserved and leveraged to provide well-being benefits for the community Governance and Transparency Sharefirst C.I.C. remains committed to maintaining the highest standards of transparency and accountability. Progress is thoroughly reviewed at the Annual General Meeting (AGM), and interim progress meetings with key outcomes incorporated into the organisation’s plans for the following year. The FY24 plan reflects Sharefirst’s dedication to: Addressing stakeholder feedback effectively. Expanding initiatives that align with its core values of safety, sustainability, community engagement, and well-being. Ensure continuous improvement and reviews to track goals and progress. This structured and collaborative approach ensures that Sharefirst not only meets its objectives but also builds enduring relationships with its diverse range of stakeholders, driving positive change for the community and the environment.
