Trust and Confidence in Councils: What the public think
Survation's latest public opinion survey for APSE finds that local councils remain the most trusted to deliver essential services in people’s local areas. The annual poll, conducted online between 18 and 19 October, found that trust in local councils was slightly higher than last year, and significantly higher than trust in national government and private companies. In addition to being the most trusted to make decisions about how services are delivered in their local area, councils were also the most trusted to make decisions about local planning.
Damian Lyons Lowe, Chief Executive at leading poll company, Survation, provides a breakdown of the latest poll on trust in public services in an article for APSE here.
