Housing Needs Survey – one last chance if you act quickly!

Thank you to everyone who took time to fill out the Housing Needs Survey when it was issued to all households in June. We have now been advised by Community Action Suffolk that there is still one last opportunity to receive any outstanding surveys from Walberswick residents, so if you have had a survey but have not yet completed it, please do so befiore the end of July. Alternatively if you would still like to receive a paper copy of the survey, or would like to complete it online please email walberswickNDP@gmail.com and we will get a paper copy or an online code to you.

A Housing Needs Survey is a vital piece of work and will help us understand the need for additional housing (if any) in Walberswick; this might be affordable housing for young people who have grown up in the village, housing with disabled access, sheltered housing, etc. etc.

The assessment and questionnaire is being organised on our behalf by Community Action Suffolk (CAS) - the survey does include asking questions about household finances that some may find too detailed, however no questions are mandatory (there is a "skip question" option on every question) and it is a tried and tested means of obtaining the data vital to accurately assess the future housing needs of an area and the benefit of this data being collected and analysed by external specialists is that all data will be logged outside of the village; your individual data will not be reported back to the steering group.

Thank you
