Love Local is Civic Voice’s campaign to uncover the local DNA of different places – Love Local will reveal what makes them distinctive and you proud to live there.

It is simple to join in – complete the short survey asking what you love about your area and why and send us some images. Civic Voice will build a constantly updating digital mosaic of the results – showing what people love about the different parts of England and encouraging others to give voice to their feelings too. We pledge to champion the things you care about.

Get Involved

To get involved in the Love Local campaign you should complete the short online survey and we are also asking for digital images of what makes you proud about where you live. These are displayed on our Flickr site at www.flickr.com/photos/civicvoice
