HOW COUNCILS COMMUNICATE SURVEY

Over a quarter of the public – especially younger people – think that the number one priority for councils should be helping to combat neighbourhood crime, which comes top in a list of neighbourhood concerns. Nearly three quarters (73%) would like to use council websites to post their own videos or photos of graffiti and other anti-social behaviour to enable councils to identify problem areas.

Nearly eight out of ten people (78%) want more of a say in how council tax is spent, with 66% saying that it would be a good idea for communities to have more of an input into some local government decisions.

These are some of the results of a survey published today by WebsEdge, producers of the Local Government Channel. Click on the links below to find out more.
