Following the recent distribution of the survey that I sent to local residents, I am encouraged by the substantial response I have received. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those people who took the time to complete and return the survey. Many of you took the opportunity to add your additional thoughts and comments regarding ways in which you would like to see the delivery of council services improved. The survey certainly seems to have started some healthy and much welcomed debate! I hope to reply to all respondents shortly, once the data from the responses has been properly analysed after the Christmas and New Year break.I had expected that many of the replies would come from natural Conservative supporters, which there were. What encouraged me most, however, were the number of constructive comments and views I received from residents who historically may have voted for other political parties, but were prepared to engage with me in order to achieve the shared goal of ensuring that Stirling Council provides value for money services.
