A SURVEY that helps inform Bromsgrove District Council’s thinking for the year ahead has launched.

The annual community survey asks residents for their views and opinions about issues affecting them, their local area, and district council services.

The results are then reported to council officers to review and action.

Leader of the council, Cllr Karen May, said: “We value the feedback of our residents, and the community survey is a prime opportunity for you to tell us your feelings, issues, experiences and opinions so that we can shape our services to fit the needs of our communities.

"We take the results of this survey very seriously, so, I hope that representatives from all communities in our district take part and help us plan for the future.”

The survey is available via bromsgrove.gov.uk/consultations and will also go before the council’s Community Panel, a group of residents who take part in regular engagement sessions.
