Our residents’ survey is complete – so what happens next?

The residents’ survey is now closed. Thank you to everyone who took part.

We have received well over 900 completed surveys – an excellent response rate that demonstrates the strength of local interest in the future of Tilehurst.

Putting together and distributing the survey was a lot of work for the steering group and we’d like to thank everyone involved for their help.

Now we move on to the next phase of the project, starting with analysing the survey data. This is going to be a major undertaking: we want to make sure we read through all the comments, and that we extract the maximum actionable information. Given our limited resources and the amount of data we expect this to take a while, so things may go quiet for a few weeks while we work away behind the scenes. We are looking forward to sharing our findings online and at public events in March. If all goes well, we’ll then have the evidence base for the Neighbourhood Plan in place, and will be ready to put together a draft for public consultation.

Thanks again to everyone who has contributed, and a Happy New Year to you all!
