Weymouth Town Council launches annual Residents’ Survey

Weymouth Town Council is urging people to have their say on the services it provides in a residents’ survey, which launched today (Wednesday 13^th November.) 

Services run by the Council include everything from public toilet facilities, parks, gardens, and open spaces to the beach and promenade. It is also responsible for projects like developing Tumbledown, a former farm, into a community asset and runs a packed schedule of events across the town, ranging from large-scale firework displays to the recent Remembrance Sunday service. (Services like housing, highways, planning, bin collections, schools, social care, libraries, benefits, or parking, fall under Dorset Council, not the Town Council.)

To build on the work of the previous year, residents are once again being asked for their views to help shape services in the town. The survey runs until 5pm on Wednesday 11^th December. 

Council Leader Cllr David Harris said: “We need to hear feedback from our residents in order to understand where we are doing well as a Council, and where we could make improvements. Weymouth Town Council is committed to listening to residents and acting in their best interests. Our residents’ survey will provide valuable feedback on what is important to everyone living in the town and help us to understand what people think of their Council.  

“The survey results will also be used to evaluate satisfaction levels with the services the Council provides so that we can continue to make improvements for the benefit of all residents, and to tourists who visit our beautiful coastal town.” 

Survey questions cover residents’ thoughts on customer service satisfaction levels when contacting the council, what people think of the events the Council puts on, to views on how clean and well-maintained facilities like toilets, parks, gardens, and open spaces are. 

Everyone who completes the short survey will have the opportunity to be entered into a prize draw to win one £100 high street shopping voucher. 

The consultation runs for a month from Wednesday 13^th November to Wednesday 11^th December and is available online. You can also go to Weymouth’s libraries and get support to fill out the survey using the library’s computers.
