Community Rights: Parish Pulse Survey 2014 Launched
Published 14th July 2014

The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) is conducting a short informal survey – ‘Parish Pulse 2014’.

“Last spring DCLG conducted a survey to learn more about how town and parish councils were embracing Community Rights to empower their neighbourhoods to take action and to influence local services. Over 870 councils completed the survey, which provided Government with a valuable insight into the take-up of Community Rights and an understanding of how it could support more town and parish councils to encourage them to make better use of the rights.

The aim of the ‘Parish Pulse Survey 2014’ is to find out what the picture looks like now for town and parish councils with Community Rights.

DCLG wants you to tell them about what activity your town or parish council is taking forward to support Neighbourhood Planning, Community Right to Challenge and Community Right to Bid & Asset Support. The outcomes will help to inform the continuing development of Government’s work with town and parishes and shape the type of support we provide to respond to the issues highlighted in the survey.

The survey includes a short series of questions and will only take 10 – 15 minutes to complete. The survey is open until 11 August 2014.”

One would imagine that residents of most of our towns and parishes would have a lot to say!
