THOUSANDS of Coventry people are being interviewed as part of one of the biggest surveys looking at the quality of life in Coventry.
Around 3,500 people will have face-to-face household interviews during December, with an opportunity for residents to complete the survey online too.
The poll will collect views on community involvement, housing, environment, health and wellbeing, community safety and transport, with results being announced in February 2010.
The research, being carried out by the Coventry Household Survey, will also gather information to assess physical and mental well-being, as well as any potential health or lifestyle inequalities.
Councillor Ken Taylor, leader of Coventry City Council said that local services should be tailored to meet the needs of a changing population and the survey will help improve the quality public services.
He added: “People know what their priorities are and it’s important to provide the right services at the right times. Public services must improve and become even more effective and efficient. This survey will help us deliver them in the best way possible.
“For the first time the community can reply online and we really do value their opinions.”
The survey, in its sixth year, is funded by Coventry’s Primary Care Trust, the council and has been commissioned by the Coventry Partnership.
Stephen Banbury, chair of Coventry Partnership, said: “This survey gives Coventry people the opportunity to let us know their views of local services and it is important that as many households as possible complete the survey, so that partners know where to improve services.”
The online survey is for people aged 16 and over until December 24.
