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
• Questionnaire  (276.95 KB) used in the face to face survey
• Final report on the results of the face to face survey  (1.25 MB)
