SRD - Services

Residents / Household Surveys - Data Analysis and Interpretation

SRD has adopted a community led approach in conducting Residents / Household surveys, training and supporting local people to successfully conduct these surveys themselves.

Recent local surveys have included resident consultations in relation to Salford City Council’s “spotlighting” pilot programme.
