Uckfield Town Council is one of three local authorities delivering services in your local area.
We have created a survey to understand more about what you as a local resident think about where you live. We’re keen to understand:
The survey should take no more than 15-20 minutes to complete, so grab that cuppa and make a difference!
The survey has been created on Google Forms, so if you’re completing the survey on a mobile, you may need to rotate your phone to landscape (i.e. on its side) so you can fully see the questions.

East Sussex County Council (ESCC) regularly consults on its ‘Core Offer’.
To help manage the financial pressures that the County Council is under, they have created a Core Offer of what can be provided in terms of services and what residents should expect from them.
They also run several other surveys throughout the year, which relate to their services such as highways, education, and libraries.
