Final Report

Introduction

The consultation was commissioned by the Neighbourhood Partnership Management Team and undertaken by BCC Research Consultation and Intelligence Team. The consultation ran from 1 st February 2013 until 1 st April 2013.

The following text ws listed on the Consukltation Finder entry:

“The Mayor of Bristol is dedicated to giving local communities more influence over their neighbourhoods.

We want to develop our Neighbourhood Partnerships and to bring more influence and decision-making about local services to local communities. In order to do this, we would like to hear from our citizens about what they would like more control and responsibility for in their neighbourhoods, and about how they would like to take part in local decision making.

The information gained from this survey will be used alongside detailed consultation within each neighbourhood to improve our Neighbourhood Partnerships. We want to ensure that we design our service based on what our citizens tell us.”

Methodology

An online questionnaire and background information was available via the City Council Consultation Finder portal on the Council website: https://www.citizenspace.com/bristol/neighbourhoods/npreview

The survey link was widely publicized and a paper copy of the questionnaire was also made available for completion by those with restricted access to the internet.

The online questionnaire was also available via SNAP Mobile enabling fieldworkers in each of the neighbourhood partnership areas to gather responses in the community using ipad/tablets.

Analysis

Responses to each question are shown in both tablular and chart form. The tables display both counts and percentages whilst the charts shown percentages only. Where appropriate responses are shown by Neighbourhood Partnership Area and by ‘overall’ for comparison.

Note: missing values are excluded in most tables. The total (base) used is given in each table.

The main observations from each question are bulleted underneath each table. 3 Response

There were 3101 returns in total. 161 from the fieldwork surveys and 2940 from the online survey.

5 Main findings SUMMARY

• There were good levels of responder awareness of what was going on their area but there were notable differences between the NP areas. Highest: Bedminster and Southville and Lowest Brislington East and Brislington West .

• About a third of respondents said they attended local meetings. Again there were notable differences between the NP areas. Highest attendance in Henleaze, Stoke Bishop and lowest in Hengrove.

• The main reason for non attendance was lack of time (1 in 5). Time of day was identified by approx 1 in 8 respondents and 1 in 10 would prefer online options.

• Overall approx 2 in 3 had heard of their Neighbourhood Partnership but there were large discrepancies in awareness between NP areas. Highest awareness in Henleaze,Stoke Bishop and lowest awareness in Hengrove and Stockwood.

• Overall approx 2 in 3 heard of Neighbourhood Forums. Highest awareness in Henleaze,Stoke Bishop and Westbury-on-Trym. The lowest awareness was in Hengrove and Stockwood.

• Overall approximately 1 in 5 had taken part in Neighbourhood Partnership / Forum. There were wide differences between NP areas. Higest participation in Cabot, Clifton and Clifton East and Lowest participation in Hengrove and Stockwood.

• Overall approximately 1 in 3 had taken part in ‘other local meetings’. There were wide differences between NP areas. Highest participation in Horfield and Lockleaze and lowest participation in Hengrove and Stockwood.

• Of respondents who attended either ‘Neighbourhood Partnership / Forum’ or ‘Other local meeting’, they particularly liked aspects of findings out what was going on in their neighbourhood (2 in 3) influencing (1 in 2) and speaking to providers (1 in 2). There was less liking of ‘concerns being taken seriously’ (1 in 3) and of ‘organisation issues’ (1)

• Suggestions for improving NP/local meetings highlighted ‘better advertising’ as the main issue (1 in 2) followed by (1 in 3) suggesting ‘improved feedback’, ‘linking to other group meetings in the area’ and better links to ‘community groups’.

• Overall approx 1 in 2 were aware that NP make decisions on highways etc. Highest awareness in Cabot, Clifton and Clifton East and Lowest 6 awareness in Hengrove and Stockwood

• Overall approx 1 in 2 wish to be more involved in local decision making. Less differential between NP areas. Highest in Horfield and Lockleaze (2 in 3) andLowest in Hengrove and Stockwood (1 in 3)

• Preference for evening meetings at mixture of times. Far less interest in weekend meetings.

• Most (1 in 2) found information about their neighbourhood via ‘word of word of mouth’ and ‘local newspapers’. 1 in 5 hear via BCC website and 1 in 7 via social media

• The top 5 suggestion s from the open question: What do you think should be decided or influenced locally in the future? were:

o Planning issues o Traffic and transport o Parks and green/open spaces, trees o Highways, roadworks, gritting, street lighting o Parking and Residents Parking Zones

• The top 5 suggestion s from the open question: If you attend neighbourhood partnership / neighbourhood forums/local meetings, how do you think that forums and other local meetings could be made better? were:
