Place Survey
The Place Survey is a new survey, which provides information on people's perceptions of their local area and the local services they receive.
The survey is a postal survey conducted in every local authority once every two years and provides a particularly valuable data source at the local level. It is one of the largest sample surveys in Europe with more than half a million respondents. Fieldwork for the Place Survey took place in all local authorities across England between September and December 2008. It includes questions about satisfaction with local area, local public services, information, local decision making, helping out, getting involved, respect and consideration and community safety.
The survey collects information on 18 national indicators for local government, used to measure local government performance for 152 county councils, metropolitan district councils, London boroughs and unitary authorities. Data is collected which also helps to monitor eight Department Strategic Objectives and eleven Public Service Agreements.
