Consultation and Surveys

Chester City Council has a commitment to increase the opportunity for local residents to contribute to the decision making process.  One of the ways of doing this is by seeking their opinion on a number of key issues. 

One of the main ways in which we survey the population is through the Residents Survey Panel ( RSVP ).  The Residents Survey Panel is made up of a cross section of local people who agree to complete three to four postal surveys per year, for a maximum of three years.  Panel members might also be invited to participate in other research from time-to-time.

You can find out more about RSVP and some of the surveys they have undertaken in this section.

If you would like to be kept informed about forthcoming consultations and surveys that may be appearing here, subscribe to the page for updates.
