From 2006 to 2010, I was a councillor for Lee Green ward in the London Borough of Lewisham. During that time, I blogged regularly and in 2009 I won the Tim Garden Award for the Best Blog by a Liberal Democrat Holding Public Office. My blog posts from my term of office are archived here in case they prove of use to former constituents, or to those who share my annoyance with faulty street furniture
The Council have advised us that an independent company, Survey Solutions Ltd, will be carrying out a door-to-door survey in the CPZ consultation areas (both the Hither Green East extension area and the Old Road/Bankwell Road extension area) from this Monday 1st December until 14th December.
The idea is to get some feedback on residents’ views of CPZs and the consultation process itself. If residents opt for the CPZ to be extended to their street, the survey will be repeated once the CPZ has been implemented to see if views have changed.
I think there are two important points to make:
- The staff from Survey Solutions will carry ID. If you want to check their credentials, give Bill Tarplett at the Council a call on 8314 2570. If you’re in any doubt, don’t let anyone into your house – call the Council and check first.
- The door-to-door survey is only going to a random sample of people. To make sure your views count, you still need to return the paper questionnaire that came through your door within the three week deadline.
