Focus Newton
Newton is a rapidly growing community with strong neighbourhood connections and local pride. The City of Surrey has launched Focus Newton, an initiative to enhance, beautify and engage with the Newton community.
Through Focus Newton, we will develop an action plan that encompasses short-term (one year) and medium-term (three year) beautification and enhancement objectives. This plan will serve as a roadmap for enhancing Newton.
Share your vision for a vibrant Newton!
We want to hear from all Newton residents, local businesses, and community groups. This June and July, share your ideas for a more vibrant community, like:
- creating more public spaces
- family-friendly gathering spots
- beautiful public art
- something else!
Your ideas will play an important role in guiding how we enhance your community. Together, we can create a plan that meets the needs of a growing and diverse population.
Our survey is closed. Thanks for your valuable input! Next, we’ll review the results and provide an update report. Following that, we’ll delve deeper into key themes identified during the engagement process and draft an action plan to guide future enhancements based on your feedback.
