What Farnham Voice offers councils#

Farnham Voice provides councils with structured, anonymous community survey data on local issues.

This data is gathered through designed surveys, grouped by road, area, ward, and age group where possible, presented as clear summaries, and fully anonymous — individual respondents are never identified.

Why this is useful#

Councils often need community evidence before they can act.

Individual concerns can be difficult to measure. They do not always show how widespread an issue is, which areas are most affected, or what range of views exists.

Structured survey data from Farnham Voice can help councils understand how many residents are affected, see which roads or areas are impacted, identify whether views differ by age group or location, and assess which proposed solutions are supported.

What we invite councils to do#

When Farnham Voice shares survey results, we invite the relevant council representative to:

• Acknowledge the results within a reasonable time
• Respond in plain English — rather than policy or legal jargon where possible
• Explain what happens next — whether action is planned, what process applies, or what constraints exist
• Be clear about constraints — if something cannot be done, a brief explanation helps communities understand why

Council responses are published on this site alongside the survey results.
