“One of the most sincere forms of respect is to actually listen to what another person has to say.”
This morning (Saturday February 9th 11am-1pm) My team and I went to Church Street, Warrenpoint to ask the local community to give me two minutes of their time to take part in a Listening Ear-Survey.
We were simply blown away by the response and we would like to thank everyone for taking the time to write down their thoughts.
We asked people to write down five things that they loved about Warrenpoint and five things they thought needed improved within the area.

This was only a tiny two hour glimpse into where we are as a society in 2019. It was a great experience to talk to people on the ground and listen to their views and opinions gathering over 500 comments.
Next up is Rostrevor and I’m really looking forward to hearing everyone’s views regarding the local issues.
Thank you again for today and a big thank you to my team who were just top class.
