Waste and Liveability Research 2005

We commissioned RBA Research Ltd to consult residents on a number of issues around waste and liveability.

The research consisted of face-to-face in-home interviews with 703 residents during November and December 2005 and also facilitating four Focus Groups in January 2006.

The specific objectives of the survey were to understand residents’:

• ·Satisfaction with waste and recycling services
• ·Preferences for waste and recycling
• ·Views on opportunities to increase recycling
• ·Satisfaction with cleanliness of the area
• ·Satisfaction with the local area
• ·Perceptions of crime and safety
• ·Satisfaction with and use of local sport and leisure facilities
• ·Views on the Council’s priorities
• ·Views on what constitutes a good quality of life
• ·Receipt and readership of Council communications

The results and details of the consultation are now available to view in the following documents:

• Initial research letter  (57.73 KB) that went out to residents
