Perception Survey (2019)

An online perception survey was open for comment between 14 October to 7 November 2019. The survey allowed respondents to comment on changes that they would like to see made in the Higham Hill and Lloyd Park area. In total there were 1,457 visitors to the perception survey, 567 respondents with 954 comments. Respondents were asked a series of demographic and travel behaviour questions, and were then invited to drop pins on an interactive map of the area, and tell us their views about the location they had selected.

The map below gives an overview of the locations respondents made a comment about.

Who responded

Of the 567 users that registered to leave comments on the survey, 438 provided information about their connection to the area:

• 356 (81%) of respondents were residents
• 44 (10%) of respondents travel through the area
• 12 (3%) visit for leisure
• 25 (6%) work in the area

Respondents Travel Behaviour

We asked how respondents travel on their roads and in the surrounding areas for work and non-work purposes (respondents could select multiple options). The results are shown below.

Respondent’s feelings about the area

Respondents were asked to drop a pin on the map of the area and leave comments about the location they selected. This included providing a general sentiment (positive/negative) about the location and then a reason why they felt this way. Respondents could drop a pin on as many different locations as they wanted.

The majority of responses were negative towards the location they had selected and the most frequent three reasons they felt this way were:

• Doesn’t feel safe to travel around
• Unattractive
• Difficult to get around

The results are shown below.
