Cheshire: Tarporley public perception survey

Background

A public perception survey was undertaken in Tarporley to establish the issues which are of concern to local residents and to gain their ideas for solving these issues.

The results of the survey will also provide a baseline for measuring the effectiveness of actions and measures taken in the future.

Action

The basic method used to gather the information was structured interviews using a questionnaire. The interviews were completed by the CAT Officers and Homewatch Coordinators. The Homewatch coordinators provided invaluable assistance in completing interviews and we are very grateful for their assistance. A copy of the questionnaire is attached as appendix A.

Some results were gathered by using a kiosk placed in the local supermarket and in the Health Centre. Due to technical issues with the software we have not been able to include the responses from the 50 people who partly or fully completed the questionnaire. We hope to resolve the issues and include those responses at a future date.

Learning

Please see the report on the findings of the survey (Word, 660kb) (pdf version, 165kb)

What next

The Community Action Team will be using the results from this survey together with the results from the recent Environmental Audit to write an action plan for the area. This action plan will involve appropriate partner agencies in solutions to the issues as well as inform the activities of the CAT in the area over the next several months.

It is intended to repeat this survey in six months as part of the Safer Communities programme.
