Survey launched in Barbuda as the Barbuda Council seeks public input on key social and economic issues.

The Barbuda Council has called on Barbudans at home and abroad to take part. Moreover, officials want feedback to guide future planning.

The initiative follows what the Council described as a major legal victory on land rights. In addition, the Council said last week marked an important moment for Barbuda.

A court ruling reaffirmed that Barbudan land cannot be sold. Therefore, the Council described the decision as a strong affirmation of community rights.

The Council shared its statement online alongside Global Legal Action Network. It encouraged widespread participation in the new survey.

Furthermore, officials said the ruling shows the strength of unity. They added that collective action helped secure the outcome.

Now, the Council wants residents and the diaspora to shape the island’s future. As a result, the survey focuses on key development concerns.

These include housing and land issues. In addition, it covers cost of living pressures and job opportunities.

Healthcare and education also form part of the survey. Moreover, residents can share views on long-term development goals.

The Council explained that the survey helps identify what matters most to the community. Therefore, it will guide future decisions and planning.

Officials also stressed the importance of broad participation. They said stronger input will improve representation in governance discussions.

In addition, the Council encouraged Barbudans living abroad to contribute. It said the diaspora plays an important role in shaping development.

To support participation, the Council shared an online link for the survey. Residents can also forward it to others.

Meanwhile, discussions about land rights and development continue to shape public debate in Barbuda. The Council believes the survey will strengthen community voice.

Overall, officials say the process will help build a clearer vision for Barbuda’s future.
