Residents' views sought on 'quality of life'

The views of thousands of people across Cambridgeshire about their quality of life is being sought, to give councillors an insight.

Cambridgeshire County Council said the survey would help influence business planning decisions and policies.

Residents who live in the five district areas of the county will be asked to take part in the annual review.

The authority said previous surveys had highlighted that roads and pavement maintenance, the cost of living, and mental health and loneliness were areas of concern.

Data also showed that residents felt happy and safe, and that the county was a good place to raise children, the council said.

The online and telephone survey will aim to speak to about 1,100 people in each of the five districts - Cambridge City, East Cambridgeshire, Fenland, Huntingdonshire and South Cambridgeshire.

The council added: "This year, for 2025, there are two questions to help introduce the concept of Local Government Reorganisation to residents and provide an early indication of awareness."
