Local Government

 

SSMR has conducted a large number of projects for local government, including several London Boroughs. SSMR has carried out diverse projects for Waverley Borough Council, including Best Value Reviews and budgetary consultations.

 

SSMR recently carried out a market town healthcheck for Godalming Town Council and other local groups, in a Godalming Together initiative.   The survey explored what residents perceived to be the strengths and weaknesses of the town and what improvements they would like made.  The aim of the study was to provide guidance to the Town Council and its partners on future developments in the town.

 

Other local authority work includes:

• Resident satisfaction surveys

• Internal and external communications surveys

• Waste management/recycling consultations

• Attitudes towards community involvement: views from multi-ethnic communities, e.g. Turkish, Afro-Caribbean, Asian, Satmar Jewish

• Views on community plans: attitudes of young white people, young Black Caribbean people, and Turkish people
