OVERVIEW

Dear Radway Resident,

The following is the result of the survey you completed last year. It has taken some time to come together as we were short of volunteers, so our apologies

for this. We think the results show that the villagers in the main like their surroundings, do not want great changes, and want a peaceful life. Some

issues exist of course and these need to be looked at to see if there is anything that can be done within the restrictions that these times place upon

us.

Thank you once again for your co-operation.

If you have any queries at all please contact any of the Parish Councillors who will be happy to help.

Radway Parish Survey 2010 1

1.0 Introduction

The survey was designed to assist Radway Parish Council’s plans for improving Radway and

the future of the local community buy providing resident feedback on a number of important

issues. In particular, the objective is to receive residents’ views on current facilities and

services in Radway, and to ensure the requirements of the village as a whole are identified.

2.0 Methodology

Radway Parish Council, with Stratford District Council designing the final version, developed

the questionnaire.

58 questionnaires were returned from around 100 distributed in the village (58% household

response rate). 119 residents completed the survey as more than one response was allowed

on a single questionnaire (up to 6 residents of a property aged 11 or over was able to

complete it).

The report follows the order of the questionnaire. Charts and tables are used throughout the

report to assist the interpretation of the results. In some cases, anomalies appear due to

“rounding”.

Results were run using one cross tabulation for gender to see if differences occurred in

attitude. No results saw any significant differences in attitude.

The term “base” in the tables and charts refer to the number of responses to a particular

question.

Appendix 4: Responses to Q43: Other suggestions

(8 comments)

� Remove suburban features

� Pick up rubbish from sides of roads off road car parking

� I do not wish to see Radway "Urbanised" with more lighting pavements, curbs and

gentrification. I chose to live in Radway for its simplicity and country ways. It is

important to me that we maintain these values

� Take out the hedge that mums from 1 - 5. The green that belongs still to the housing

association to make more parking

� Moved to Radway because it was mainly unspoilt!

� Please never remove the hedge on the green from houses 1 to 5. It is a popular bird

nesting site

� Plant trees but with much thought - trees grow big and not in verges

� Make pond deeper


(16 comments)

� No more light (no more parking minimize extra signage, reduce municipal impact

� As in Q43 above

� Status Quo apart from social housing and email lock up business units

� Doesn’t use change much. 2) Have a dog mess bin at the west end area of village as

plastic bags are always being left there or dog mess!

� Higher speed internet, underground electricity cables

� Provision of allotments for those with smaller gardens, managed, thoughtfully provided

parking

� A Shop

� A shop/general stores/ post office

� Radway is fine as it is, my home for nearly 90 years

� Less light pollution

� Public transport - bus service more frequent

� A better electricity and phone line supply

� More play equipment at park

� Leave Radway as it is please

� Nothing needed

� Mobile Shop, pub (weekend only) and dog bin on Nortons Lane


(5 comments)

� That is the responsibility of a responsible parish council - as in elected

� From the current council tax which I pay

� From council tax wastage which occurs at the moment e.g. repeated road mending

when not needed

� Grants

� Council tax should be spent on the essential improvements! Many of us pay a high

contribution already with few returns
