Wilmslow Town Council are pleased to share the results of their first annual Residents' Survey, which will help guide their priorities for the next council year.

During September 2024, a paper copy of the Residents' Survey was delivered to all houses in Wilmslow.

The survey was widely promoted across Wilmslow Town Council's social media and local Facebook groups, via Wilmslow Town Council's eNewsletter and local news websites, as well as on signage around Wilmslow town centre. It could be completed online via the Wilmslow Town Council website or through the paper form.

The Residents' survey was created to encourage Wilmslow residents to give their views and opinions of Wilmslow Town Council and its activities, in order to help Town Councillors to make decisions for the benefit of the community in the future.

Wilmslow Town Council is the lowest tier of Local Government for Wilmslow. Cheshire East Council manages services such as education, highways, social services, waste management and planning for Wilmslow residents.

The Town Council oversees other facilities and services that aim to contribute to the community and identity of Wilmslow, such as the town's floral planters, community grants Wilmslow's Christmas lights and local events such as Cinema on the Carrs, the Remembrance Sunday parade and the Wilmslow Christmas lights switch-on event.

A total of 667 surveys were completed by Wilmslow residents: 590 were completed online, 56 paper forms were returned and 21 paper forms returned via email. Full results can be viewed HERE.

"We are now in the process of setting next year's budget and the survey results are already helping to guide us in our priorities, such as on support/facilities for the youth which was viewed as very important by the majority of survey respondents.

"We hope that next year even more residents will complete the survey, so that our annual listening exercise is representative of all Wilmslow residents."
