On the street in Blackhill
We’ve been out a couple of nights in Blackhill doing a residents’ survey. We really know how to live!
I think people sometimes think we only do these things to pass negative comments, so as an antidote to this I’m going to give you the good news first. To hear what people are not so happy about you’ll have to log in tomorrow.
82% of the residents in Blackhill who responded to our survey said they thought that NHS medical provision locally is Good or Okay. Well done to the NHS staff whose efforts really are appreciated.
83% of residents in Blackhill who responded to our survey said they had had “no difficulty” in finding an NHS dentist. That’s a whole lot better than the national situation reported by the Citizens Advice Bureau in 2007. To compare, look at http://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/index/pressoffice/press_index/press_20070327c.htm
93% of residents in Blackhill who responded to our survey said they had easy access to local bus services. Having said that, under 40% of people said they actually use the buses.
Till tomorrow, then.
have your say
