Village Appraisal questionnaire results - Youth

With almost half the village returning their completed questionnaire, a much better response than we anticipated, so a big thank you to all who took part. With over 280 questionnaires to work through we have a lot of data to analyse, but with the help of modern technology we have tabulated the basic results, as listed below.

All the questions are listed in their sections as per the original questionnaire, along with each possible answer. The figures represent the number of responses for each answer and also the percentage of the total people who answered the question. This total is also given, along with the number of people who chose not to comment or felt the question was not applicable, are also included.

With 85 questions this makes quite a long list, but the following areas are given as an index, along with the smaller youth section:

  General Information  
  Housing & Development
  Working Life  
Traffic, Travel & Transport
  Environment  
  Village Life  
  Young Voices  

Most of the questions are also linked to any relevant comments and suggestions received on the questionnaires.
