15-Minute Neighbourhoods Survey

To help us create a borough where all neighbourhoods can thrive, the Council is keen to hear about where you live, work, and play, and about what is and isn’t on offer a short distance from your home. 

The data gathered via this survey will be used anonymously, meaning that while comments and views contributed may be used publicly, they will not be attributed or shared in a way that is identifiable.

This survey should take no longer than ten minutes to complete.

1. Health, care, and wellbeing

Access to health and care services and wellbeing support are important for healthy and prosperous people and communities. They include GP practices, dentists, pharmacies, care facilities, support groups and community-based services.

2. Education and lifelong learning

Access to facilities and services for education and lifelong learning benefit local communities and give individuals opportunities to thrive. They include nurseries, schools, colleges, libraries, places to train and learn new skills and informal learning opportunities.

3. Facilities and amenities

Facilities, services and amenities are the things we need to live and enjoy life. They include shops, and places to eat and drink.

4. Play and recreation

Good places encourage children to play and allow adults to enjoy leisure and sporting activities. Opportunities for play and recreation improve quality of life and health and wellbeing.

5. Moving around

Active travel is good for our health and the environment. Easy movement along pleasant, safe routes that are well designed, maintained and accessible to all can encourage active travel.

6. Public transport

Access to affordable, reliable and well-connected public transport is important for everyone. Good public transport can encourage people to get around in ways that are better for the environment.

7. Natural space

Natural space includes parks and woodlands, fields, and the green space or trees alongside paths and roads. These are good for wildlife, improve air quality and benefit health and wellbeing.

8. Housing and community

The homes available locally affect who lives in an area and how a place looks and feels. Good places have a mix of quality homes for families and people of different ages and incomes.

9. Social contact

Social interaction is important and social contact can improve health and wellbeing. Good places provide a variety of spaces to meet and spend time with others.

10. Identity and belonging

How a place looks and what other people think of it can be important. A strong local identity helps build pride in place and communities.

11. Feeling safe

How safe a place feels can affect how and where people spend their time. There are different reasons a place can feel safe or unsafe and things that improve feelings of safety in an area for everyone.
