Public Attitudes to Local Council Services 2023
Survation were asked by APSE to provide a public opinion survey of attitudes to local neighbourhood services in 2023, covering the range of council services that would appear in their local area. Survation also polled Councillors in Great Britain, to gauge their opinion on levels of funding, financial health of councils and their priorities for protecting services.
Key points:
- One in four councillors think their local authority is at risk of bankruptcy within the next five years
- Trust remains high in councils and councillors compared to Government or private companies
- Climate change remains a priority for respondents
