The survey data WCC hid

WCC does an annual survey of residents. In previous years they put the full results on their website but this year only did a summary which highlighted the positive. Someone requested the full report under LGOIMA, and it is here.

Some key trends:

• Wellington is a great place to live, work and play down from 95% to 72%
• I feel a sense of pride in the way Wellington looks and feels down from 85% to 50%
• The city centre is lively and attractive from 88% to 37%
• Satisfaction with Council decision making is only 20%
• Only 21% agree WCC mades decisions in the best interests of the city (was once 50%)
• Overall Council performance is 29% satisfied and 56% dissatisfied
• Feeling safe in the CBD after dark down from 76% to 43%
• Easy to drive around the city down from 51% to 34%
• Local roads are in good condition down from 73% to 54%
• Satisfaction with central city lighting down from 84% to 66%
• Only 29% satisfied with availability of car parks during the week
• Stormwater management satisfaction down from 68% to 35%

A good question to those standing for election would be what policies they would support to improve these.
