A SURVEY that helps inform Redditch Borough 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 borough council services.

The results are then reported to members and officers of the council.

Cllr Matt Dormer, leader of the council, said: “I hope residents from across the borough take the time to complete this important survey because your responses can have a big impact on the way we run our services.

"It helps us identify what is important to our communities and enables us to plan for the future. It is an opportunity for you to give us your thoughts and for us to listen to what our residents want.”

The 2021 survey is available on redditchbc.gov.uk/consultations and will also go before the council’s Community Panel, a group of residents who take part in regular engagement sessions.
