70 per cent of respondents believe that the city council provides value for money
66 per cent said they were satisfied with the way the council runs things
71 per cent said they feel the council kept them very or fairly well informed
89 per cent said they felt that their local area was a place where people from different backgrounds got on well together.
Council leader Jon Collins said: "I am pleased that such a high proportion of people are happy living in Nottingham, as the city council has a big part to play in this.
"The fact that two-thirds of people are satisfied with the city council, at a time when Government cuts are forcing us to make some tough decisions about services, shows that we are continuing to focus on the things that matter to local people."
The top factors that people complained about included crime, dirty streets and road and pavement repairs. There were also calls for more activities for teenagers.

“While I applaud your ambition, I think you are on to a loser there, ToryMan: the gerrymandered boundaries of the unitary authority, excluded many of the more affluent suburbs of Nottingham, pretty much guarantee a built-in majority for Labour in perpetuity. Unhealthy for local politics, but a fact of life.”

“I suspect most people are far more satisfied with the work of the City Council than they are with this disastrous government who seem intend on destroying so many of the public services we rely on and attacking the most vulnerable in our society. And they cut Corporation Tax for companies already sitting on piles of cash and give tax cuts to millionaires. I know who I'd like to get rid of, and it's not Jon Collins.”

“Mags – You might not like the results of democracy but it is the best system we have. Whilst a majority of people vote for socialists and return them to power this is what we will have. Nobody can sensibly deny that the current city council is very popular with the electorate. We need to work hard to pursued people that we have the answer. We can do this by pointing to the success that we are having at national level to get people back to work.”

“Anyone can do a survey and get the result they want by what questions are asked and how they are asked.”
