People living in north and West Cumbria will be asked for their view on roads, pavements and cycleways in a new survey.
Cumberland Council is one of 111 local authorities to sign up to a standardised survey that will ask people exactly the same questions, whether they live in Coventry, Cornwall or Cumberland.
The National Highways and Transport Public Satisfaction survey, now in its 18th year, will be sent to a random selection of people – at least 3,300 residents – and results will be published in October.
As the survey is based on a sample, Cumberland Council is urging people selected to take part.
People who receive the questionnaire can complete the survey online if they prefer.
Cumberland Councillor Denise Rollo, executive member for sustainable, resilient and connected places, said: “Organising a public survey this way has clear benefits.
“It offers good value for money and helps everyone involved see what’s working well and spot trends locally, regionally, and nationally.
” The aim isn’t to rank different places, but to better understand people’s views and work together to deliver the best outcomes for communities.
“Cumberland Council is committed to listening to residents and using their feedback to shape services, make informed decisions, and ensure we meet local needs and priorities.”
