The evidence from this survey will be used to update the Kingsdon Community Plan which will prioritise the improvement of public facilities and services provided in Kingsdon over the next 5-10 years.
The Parish Council, with the help of a grant from The Big Lottery fund, commissioned the Community Council for (CCS) to undertake a survey of all households in the Parish with the following aims:
Aims

* Explore a range of other issues from effective Parish communication including levels of satisfaction with Broadband, attitudes to the environment, community safety and recreation
Methodology
* 157 paper surveys were distributed to all households on the electoral role
* Surveys were distributed and collected by Parish volunteers.
* In total 92 valid responses were received giving a 59% response rate.
* The survey was promoted widely within the Parish through the Parish Magazine and website, Village Group email, posters in public areas, local businesses and amenities, and through word of mouth. Research was conducted between 10 – 29 September 2017.
