Annual Neighbourhood Survey 2009 - P&C
What Edinburgh Residents think about their neighbourhoods
Annual Neighbourhood Survey 2009
Each year, Services for Communities asks residents for their views
on their neighbourhood; what are the best things; what needs to be
improved and what they think about the services that the Council
provides.
This tells us what the public thinks about things like street
cleaning, road maintenance, recycling and parks in every
neighbourhood.
In autumn 2009, just over 5,000 Edinburgh residents from across the
city took part in the survey, (the largest of its kind in the
UK).
Key findings
Overall the results for the city as a whole are very positive when
compared with 2007 and 2008:
- Satisfaction with neighbourhood management is 81% (up from
67%)
- Satisfaction with neighbourhoods as a place to live is 92% (up
from 86%)
- Satisfaction with service at local office has increased to
95%
The top five most frequently mentioned priorities for improving
quality of life in neighbourhoods across the city were:
1. Activities for children / youths
1. Street cleaning - joint top
2. Traffic management and roads maintenance
3. Policing
4. More amenities
The findings will be used to continually improve local service
delivery across the city.
