Each year Marlborough District Council asks how satisfied you are with our services. The 2019 survey has just started and will continue until late July.

Independent researchers ask you to rate a range of Council services out of 10. The results help us understand your priorities and to plan Marlborough’s future.

It also helps the Council measure its performance across key services including transport, water supply, libraries and community facilities.

So have your say here

The results will be published on the Council’s website in September. The survey is anonymous - you will not be personally identified in any feedback or results.
