The Place Survey is coming – will you be selected?
This autumn, thousands of households will receive questionnaires asking them about the issues that concern them the most. The survey will ask what they think of the services received from a range of agencies including the County Council, borough and district councils, the Police, Fire and Rescue Service and Primary Care Trusts.
This is called the Place Survey. Surveys like this are run every two years by all local authorities in England.
The County Council and all the district and borough councils in East Sussex selected Ipsos MORI, an independent market research company, to carry out the survey on their behalf.
Who will take part?
Between the end of September and the beginning of December 15,400 randomly selected households in East Sussex will be sent a copy of the survey. This gives everyone an equal chance of taking part and ensures that a good cross section of residents is involved. Any member of the household aged over 18 can fill in the questionnaire.
Why is it important?
If your household is selected this is your opportunity to have your say about life in the local area. It is important that we hear your views about topics such as affordable housing, facilities for young children, crime and anti-social behaviour and public transport so that we can put our resources where they really matter. These results will help us to work together to address issues of local concern and to see how and where our services can be improved.
When can I see the results?
The results of this survey will be published here during February 2008.
What if I haven’t been selected?
If you haven’t been selected this time there are other opportunities for you get involved and make your views known – explore our page on how to have your say.
Background the to the survey
