Rochford District Budget Survey 2018/2019

November 19, 2017 in News

Rochford District Council have launched this pretty uninspiring . It asks residents to rate how they feel about services such as recycling, parks & open spaces, homelessness, leisure services etc. The survey will take around 5 minutes to complete and is anonymous. The closing date is Sunday 7 January 2018. I have estimated that the council will receive around 150 responses from across the district as these things are pretty low key when it comes to getting anyone excited. However it's an important subject and perhaps should be given a more attention from residents.
