A. Background and Introduction

A.1 The purpose of the survey was to review resident opinion on issues relating to priorities, sense of place, perceptions and use of facilities, information and communications and preferences for improvements. The questionnaire contained the following sections:

Section 1: Living in the BoroughSection 2: About the CouncilSection 3: Darlington Town CentreSection 4: About Your ServicesSection 5: Residents’ Priorities or ConcernsSection 6: Contact with the Council and InformationSection 7: Helping Out (Volunteering)Section 8: Community SafetySection 9: About Yourself (Demographic Profile of the Sample)

A.2 This report relates to HAUGHTON AND SPRINGFIELD Ward from which there were 241 responses giving a confidence interval of +/- 6.3% (worst case). Comparisons are made within the report to the overall survey which had responses of 4714 completed surveys. Differences of +/-6.5% would need to be observed for there to be a statistical difference between the ward and the overall sample. Note: numbers of responses for the ward are shown in the figures. ‘Don’t know’ responses have been omitted and in some instances respondents failed to give a response so not all questions have responses from all 241 respondents.

4.2 Residents in this ward were slightly more satisfied (49.6% cf. overall 43.2%), as well as slightly more dissatisfied (41.3% cf. overall 35.2%) with grass cutting. However, satisfaction was similar in respect of household waste collection, (refuse and recycling) with a satisfaction rate of 77.8% (38.4% ‘very satisfied’ and 39.4% ‘fairly satisfied) against and overall sample response of 76.4% satisfied.

Facilities

4.5 The most used facility by residents of Haughton and Springfield provided by Darlington Borough Council was South Park with two-thirds of all respondents, (66.7%) using this. 17.0% of all respondents used it at least once a month, (at least once a week – 7.1%, at least monthly – 10.9%). The next most used facility is the Household Recycling Centre with 64.7% using this – 29.1% of respondents using this at least monthly. Least used were Cockerton Library (3.3% used this in the last 12 months).

4.6 As can be seen from the tables that follow satisfaction with facilities was generally very high – exceeding 85% for most facilities. The exceptions were for Children’s Centres (satisfaction rate of 82.9%), South Park (80.3%) and other Darlington Borough Council parks (71.2%).

4.7 Reasons for not using the facilities largely related to lack of interest in the facility with being unable to access by my usual form of transport only appearing in one in twenty respondents or more in respect of the Household Recycling Centre (8.5%) and South Park (7.8%).

4.8 When asked how often they intended to use Darlington Hippodrome in the future responses from residents living in Haughton and Springfield were largely similar to those of the overall sample. Around one in five were likely to use the theatre at least three to four times a year (21.3%) with a further 44.5% using it once or twice a year (total 65.8% cf. overall 59.2%). Reasons for never intending to use Darlington Hippodrome for this groups were largely related to cost (32.8%) or to the type of shows (8.6%). Responses to the open question category ‘other’ are shown in the appendices.

5. SECTION 5: RESIDENTS’ PRIORITIES OR CONCERNS

5.1 Respondents were informed that the Council is interested in their priorities for the Borough and that the Council has set out 8 priority area (themes) for the next four years. Respondents were asked which four of the eight themes were most important to them. The themes were as follows with only the emboldened text being used in the figures that follow:

More people healthy and independent – improving the health and wellbeing of residents (examples… tackling air and noise pollution, addressing poor housing conditions, and encouraging healthy behaviours).

Children with the best start in life – enabling children and young people to maximise and achieve their potential (examples… schools and education, career and employment prospects for young people, child poverty, mental health and wellbeing of children and young people).

A safe and caring community – creating a safer and more socially cohesive community (examples…tackling speeding cars, anti-social behaviour).

More people active and involved -increasing participation of residents in physical activity and civic life (examples… access to recreational activities, unnecessary use of cars, volunteering).

More businesses, more jobs – enabling strong and inclusive economic growth in Darlington (examples… creating jobs, job security, wage levels, cost of living, levels of poverty and debt).

More people caring for our environment – continuing to protect and enhance the local environment (examples… volunteering, tackling fly tipping and litter).

Enough support for people when needed – ensuring residents get the right level and kind of support when they need it to enable them to live independently (examples… supporting older people, the local voluntary and community sector offer, homelessness).

A place designed to thrive – ensuring we have the necessary physical infrastructure for residents and businesses to prosper (examples… vitality of the town centre, availability of affordable housing to buy or rent, accessible public transport).

5.2 In addition respondents were informed that as part of the medium term financial plan (2018-2022) the Council is considering making improvements to the Borough across five themes and respondents were asked to rank these on a one to five basis. These themes were:

16 | P a g e

Community Safety – for example: - Tackling anti-social behaviour in the town centre or neighbourhoods.- Working with the Police, communities and landlords to improve neighbourhoods.

Maintaining an Attractive Street Scene Environment – for example: return grass cutting to 12-15 day cycles, return to weekly back lane cleanse, a general increase in cleansing across the borough. One off investments for priority areas for deep cleans and physical improvements in some areas.

Maintaining a Vibrant Town Centre – for example: - Flowers and cleanliness in the town centre, events and markets, attracting new business, Improving the environment.

Developing an Attractive Visitor Economy – for example: Celebrating our Rail Heritage and attracting more visitors. Having a Tourist Information Centre. Improving the Head of Steam. Match funding grants to enhance cultural activities such as theatre or dance. Preparing for the bi-centenary of the world’s first passenger railway.

Neighbourhood Renewal – for example: Supporting families and neighbourhoods facing disadvantage and poverty. Schemes to improve health and education in disadvantaged neighbourhoods. Tackling some of the impacts of welfare changes.

5.3 Three of the PRIORITY themes listed were clearly the most important priority areas of residents of Haughton and Springfield each being identified by more than 60% of all respondents. These were ‘a safe and caring community’ (74.4%); ‘children with the best start in life’ (65.8%) and ‘enough support for people when needed’ (64.1%). Least important was ‘more people active and involved’ (9.0%).

5.4 Because the importance of improvements was a ‘ranked response’ question the responses have been analysed as mean scores. The lower the mean score the higher the priority. For respondents living in the Haughton and Springfield ward the highest priority by far was that of improving community safety with a mean score of 1.60. This was followed by maintaining an attractive street scene environment (2.76). Least important here was developing an attractive visitor economy with a mean score of 4.02.

6. SECTION 6: CONTACT WITH THE COUNCIL AND INFORMATION

6.1 When participants were asked how well informed they felt they were the large majority of respondents (76.8%) felt that they were either very or fairly well informed about what can be recycled as part of the waste collection service. Only in respect of events and activities in the Borough did over half of all respondents in Haughton and Springfield (53.2%) say that they were very or fairly well informed.

6.2 Conversely around half of all respondents felt that they were not very well or not well informed at all about what the Council does (47.8% not well informed), while over half felt uninformed about the reasons the Council has to make savings (53.9%) and opportunities available to volunteer locally (58.8%).

6.3 As can be seen from the figure on the following pages sources of information used by respondents in Haughton and Springfield are largely similar to the overall sample. The ‘One Darlington’ magazine is the most used source (64.2%) followed by ‘word of mouth’ (51.3%). Residents here are slightly less likely than the overall sample to use the Council website (16.7% cf. 21.0%) but more likely give local councillor or councillor newsletter (20.2% cf. 15.4%) responses. (Note – this was a multiple choice question and answers will add to more than 100%. Only responses in excess of 10% have been shown in the charts – full details are available in the tables).

6.4 When asked about the main method of contact when contacting the Council, half of those respondents in Haughton and Springfield (50.8%) said that they had made contact in the last 12 months. This is lower than the overall sample where 57.8% had made contact. The primary source of contact was by phone (29.8%) which is similar to the overall sample where 28.1% had made contact by telephone.

6.5 Respondents who had made contact with the Council were asked for the main reason for their last contact. It was clear from the responses that the reasons given in the questionnaire did not resonate with respondents and resulted in over a third of all of those who had made contact giving ‘other’ responses. These are shown in the appendices. The largest of the main responses was ‘to book or apply for something such as Council Tax discount, housing repair or bulky waste collection’, (32.2%).

6.6 Satisfaction with aspects of their last contact was high with 69.6% being satisfied with the ease of using their chosen method of contact and 68.6% with the information provided. 63.7% were satisfied with how the issue was resolved and over a quarter (31.0%) being dissatisfied with this. Also to note is that one-in-five who had made contact were dissatisfied with the information that had been provided (20.4%).

6.7 When asked if they would be willing to contact Darlington Borough Council electronically 54.5% said that they would or already did so – a slightly lower

19 | P a g e

percentage than the overall sample (60.9%). 14.0% said that either hadn’t got regular internet or any internet access – a higher percentage to the overall sample. 12.9% of all respondents had concerns about or were not confident about using the internet to contact Darlington Borough Council.
