People who have received a survey asking them to share their views on the town and council services are being urged to return them.

Stevenage Borough Council has distributed the surveys to 5,000 households at random in the town.

Leader of the borough council Sharon Taylor said: “It’s important that the council provides excellent services for the town, which Stevenage residents want and will use. This survey, sent to a random sample of 5,000 households in the town, is one of the regular consultation exercises we carry out to gather people’s views about public services and local communities.”

All surveys should be returned by Friday, July 17.
