In conclusion

• All key Council measures have improved significantly and in particular environmental

services. Residents in the West are less satisfied.

• The proportion who feel informed has remained relatively static. Local media remain a

preferred source of information.

• Top priorities – road & pavement repairs, clean streets and job prospects. Reassure

on crime and ASB.

• Reflect local concerns given diversity: South East most negative.

• There is strong attachment to the local area, but signs that community resilience has

weakened.

• Good Luck!
