What is Urban Heard

Not a survey.
A signal.

Built for young people across Solihull. No adults speaking for you. No feedback vanishing into a void. You talk, we amplify, things move.

🎤

Say it your way

Write it, record it, film it, or just tick a box. Every format counts. A real person reads everything before it goes anywhere.

🗳

Vote on what matters

Parks, safety, transport, things to do. Your votes decide what Urban Heard takes to the people who hold the budget.

📣

Watch it land

We report back when your voice turns into action. No silence, no fake promises. You see exactly what changed.
