People living in Peasedown St John are being given the chance to take part in the village’s biggest ever residents’ survey which will help shape the future of the village.

Launched this week by the village’s local Bath and North East Somerset (B&NES) councillors, Karen Walker and Gavin Heathcote (Independents, Peasedown St John), local people are being asked for their views on a wide range of issues - from local public transport to environmental issues.

More than 2,700 homes will be hand-delivered a copy of the survey by a team of volunteers - with the first households receiving theirs this week.

Cllr Karen Walker and cllr Gavin Heathcote said in a statement: “Local people’s views matter. As local councillors we’re always keen to engage with residents and receive their feedback on local services, how their council tax is being spent and what improvements they’d like to see in their village.

“The responses to the survey will help shape what priorities we’re able to take forward, both here in Peasedown and at the Guildhall in Bath.”

Questions in the village-wide consultation cover topics including:

Respondents are also being asked to identify what their top three priorities are for Peasedown St John.

Cllr Gavin Heathcote and Cllr Karen Walker added: “We’re asking everyone who completes the survey to tell us the three issues that matter the most to them.

“It’s important that as many people as possible let us know what they think. Each survey return will help us to focus on what priorities matter most to residents over the next two years.”
