Rangitikei District Council Seeks Public Feedback

As part of its on-going commitment to actively seek public opinion and involvement, the Rangitikei District Council is to conduct a survey of its residents.

“We have a responsibility to track how well our efforts are carrying through to our residents, says Chief Executive Clare Hadley. The best way to do this is to interview a representative cross-section of people, and to have this done by an independent group to ensure impartiality.”

National Research Bureau, an independent market research company offering specialised services to Local Authorities throughout New Zealand, has been commissioned to undertake the survey and report to the Council.

Using a randomised selection method, residents from all five Wards of the District will be telephoned and asked their opinions on the services it delivers to the residents of the District. The survey is totally confidential.

The results of the survey form part of the Council’s formal reporting. They are also a critical ingredient in planning for further improvements to Council’s delivery of services.

Interviewing for the survey commences on Friday 13 August, and is expected to be completed on Sunday 22 August.
