RESIDENTS are being asked to share their views on a variety of different topics as the Malvern Hills District Council Residents Survey arrives.

The questionnaire, running from September 6 to October 4, will give residents the chance to voice their view on the local area and council services.

This year's survey includes questions about how the coronavirus pandemic has impacted residents, as well as the response and support provided by the council during the crisis.

The survey also includes questions about issues including litter and homelessness, with feedback being used to improve services and the ongoing coronavirus recovery.

A summary of the results will be published anonymously on the council website.

Cllr Sarah Rouse, leader of Malvern Hills District Council, said: "The views of our residents really matter to us and we are encouraging as many people as possible to tell us what they think.

"This year has been difficult for everyone and we have been amazed at the community spirit across the district.

"We would like to thank all of our residents for their amazing volunteering efforts as well as our staff and councillors at Malvern Hills District Council who have gone above and beyond to maintain services and to provide support.

"Receiving feedback on this will allow us to make improvements where needed."

Last year, the survey received 1,049 responses, with health services, improving town centres and fly-tipping voted as the top priorities for residents in the Malvern Hills District.

The survey takes about 15 to 20 minutes to complete but progress can be saved so it can be completed in stages.

To be the first to receive the survey, residents can sign up for email updates by visiting www.malvernhills.gov.uk/performance.

The survey will also be available at this link from 6 September to 4 October.
