The preamble to this survey includes:

“We sent out paper copies of our Moving and Improving questionnaire to 3,000 randomly selected households in the post. To make sure this stays as a random sample, everyone else has to complete this copy of the questionnaire. They both have the same questions.”

The implication of this statement is that the replies from the 3000 households will be analysed separately from the self-motivated respondents to the online survey.

Is this true? If so, will the results of both versions be published?

A correspondent also writes:

“I commented in my response to Q3 – for what reason might I visit the Honiton or Exmouth offices? – to the effect that I noted that “To attend a Council meeting” was not included in the list of boxes to tick.

I surmised that they hoped no-one would bother,”
