People living in Peasedown St John have taken part in the village’s biggest ever residents'
-
Conducted over the summer and organised by the community's local B&NES Councillors Karen Walker and Gavin Heathcote (Independents), residents have been asked for their views on a wide range of issues.
Every home was hand-delivered a copy of the survey by a team of volunteers. And now, after several hundred responses, the results have been released.
Karen and Gavin said: “Local people’s views matter. As local councillors we're always keen to engage with residents and receive their feedback on local services, how their council tax is being spent and what improvements they'd like to see in their village.”
