About the Place Survey
The Place Survey gathers the views of residents on their local area and quality of life. The survey recently replaced the Best Value User Satisfaction Survey (BV89). The results are used to ascertain measures for 19 of the 198 national indicators that relate to citizen perspectives.
The Place Survey is compulsory for all local authorities and should be carried out once every two years.
