Survey of Londoners

The results of the latest annual Survey of Londoners, commissioned by London Councils, show significant improvements in the public's perceptions of their local councils.  Two out of three respondents said their council did a good job, and 58 per cent said their council was efficient - both are the best results since the survey began in 1990. There was also a big drop in the level of concern about council tax levels - although council tax is still the second biggest area of personal concern (behind crime). The survey asked 1,034 Londoners throughout the capital their concerns about living in London, and their opinions about local council services.
