MORE than 2,000 Blackburn with Darwen residents have completed a council survey of their views and priorities for the future of the borough.
Officials are now busy analysing the results before work starts on developing a plan for the council and the borough for the next four years.
Residents John and Aysha won £150 in shopping vouchers, Patricia received free gym membership and Chloe won four tickets for this year's pantomime at King George's Hall as thanks for their time.
John said: "I am going to donate these vouchers to asylum seekers and refugees in our borough.”
Patricia said: “It was a lovely surprise to find out I had won a 12 months subscription voucher for the gym."
Chloe said: "I’m looking forward to watching the pantomime later this year”.
Aysha said: “I truly care about where I live and want to be part of improving things."
Cllr Phil Riley, leader of the Blackburn with Darwen Council, said: "I want to thank every resident who took the time to complete our residents survey.
"We will use the feedback to shape a plan to help improve the lives of residents in the borough, support businesses as well as deliver high quality services."
