During the July 1st Launch Event at the Newbiggin Sports and Community Centre, many feedback forms were filled in by Newbiggin residents. The following information summarises the responses.

• "I'm living in hope of a complete turnaround, giving Newbiggin a name to be proud of"
• "Newbiggin is great, but it needs more shops"
• "An injection of enthusiasm can only help the village"
• "I love living in Newbiggin"
• "Thank you for trying to revitalise our wonderful village"
• "There exists great potential in Newbiggin"
• "Having lived in Newbiggin for only seven months, we are very impressed by the future plans"
• "Newbiggin has a lot of potential and the locals deserve better"
• "Newbiggin would benefit from updating and renovating, and more positive publicity"
• "I wish the proposals every success"
• "Radical improvements needed and I would be happy to help"

Many suggestions were made for ways in which the village could be improved, including:

• More visible policing
• Better public toilets
• More support for the disabled
• An improvement to the cleanliness of the village and beach
• More and better shops, and a bank
• More provision for children and youth
• Road and footpath repairs
• Better public transport links
• Development of presently unused land
• New housing, both private and rented
• Attention to empty rented property
• Better leisure facilities
• Speed restrictions required

Whilst the overwhelming majority of responses indicated that villagers:

• liked living in Newbiggin
• were satisfied with their home
• liked the coastal location
• recognised a good community spirit.

The key areas for concern were to do with:

• Transport
• The reputation of the village
• Shopping
• Leisure facilities
