Trust in democracy “The council don’t listen to our opinions – they pretend to listen, but it’s just for show” “Decisions have already been made – they’re just ticking boxes” “It’s a cosy elite – the council may provide stuff for us, but they don’t speak for us” “The councillors treat us as though we’re racist or stupid if we ask to have a say” #newconversations
Trust in the community “If there’s no one you can trust overseeing things, then it’s everyone for himself” “Newcomers go to the front of the list so you look after your own – no one else will” “The area’s gone downhill: it’s pointless trying to change it – no one else will bother” “I know my immediate neighbours – but my area’s just a place to live really” #newconversations
Trust in the system “It’s chaotic, so you don’t know who to believe – it’s just a faceless bureaucracy” “Even the frontline staff don’t seem to know what’s going on – I certainly don’t!” “You send an email or a text but it just goes into the abyss” “Can you trust the numbers? And where does the money go?” #newconversations
