This very short survey was aimed at informing the structure of a much broader questionnaire about the parish of Drigg and Carleton in order to develop a community led plan for the parish. It was the first step in a number of activities undertook over many months.
Early in ~May last year a short survey was carried out which simply asked three questions :-
What people liked about Drigg and Carleton?
What don’t they like?
What would they change?
To further help they were asked to indicate what area the lived to see if different locations had different needs.
We then went door to door collecting them.

5. Views were sought on the results of the initial survey
Drigg Gala Day – June 2015
This was followed up by attending the Drigg Gala Day where we asked people if they agreed with the areas raised or if they had anything else to add.
Proved a very useful day and a lot of views were collected.
Views were sought on the results of the initial survey

6. Topics Identified Environment Transport / Roads Economy Community
Parish Council / Drigg Charity
We then took all the information gathered and it became evident that topics were emerging.
These covered the areas of :-
Environment
Transport / Roads
Economy
Community
Parish Council / Drigg Charity

7. Community Led Plan questionnaire July / August 2015
The information was all gathered and was translated into a full blown questionnaire, that was available both in hard format an on line.
All households in the Parish received a hard copy.
The questionnaire was more detailed and encouraged the responder to specifically identify areas they were satisfied with and importantly ones where they would like to see improvements or change.

8. 240 questionnaires sent out Local business targeted
Results
240 questionnaires sent out
Local business targeted
33% return rate (21 on line, 57 hard copies)
Vast majority of feedback was positive
Production of the plan
Each household has received a copy
Copies sent out to stakeholders and partners
Respondents had approx 1 month to respond and we had a 33% return rate.
This was seen as quite a good return and was more than enough to give the Parish the confidence that what was identified was important.
Worth noting the vast majority of feedback was very positive .
All this went into the final production of the plan which was just posted out recently to all residents with further copies sent out to partners and stakeholders.

9. Action plans
Action plans for each topic were identified and it is these which are the most important part. And these will be reported against on an annual basis at the Parish Council annual meeting.
The Parish council has a good record of delivery judging by the 2008 plan and with support I am sure they can deliver again these priorities.
