You can help shape the priorities of your local council and help provide a clear view of what is most important to you for the future.

Swale Borough Council are carrying out research to understand what issues matter most to residents.

Their survey asks locals what you think about living in Swale, what services work well, and others that may need improving. It will help shape their current priorities while providing them with a clear view of what is important to local people.
