Place Survey 08 - 09
The Place Survey was a national survey conducted by all
local authorities on behalf of the Government in 2008. The
survey aimed to find out what people like and dislike about the
area that they live in and the public services that they
receive. All the results are out of 100%.
This gives an indication on how our Council performed against
the other district/borough councils in the South East, and against
all other borough councils in the country.
The full set of national results for the Place Survey was
published on the 23rd June 2009.
If you have any questions on these results please contact
Nicholas Clayton on 01233 330 208.
