The primary use of the data will be to help us understand the priorities and concerns of our local residents. A secondary use will be to support our local campaigns by providing evidence of public opinion.
Summaries of survey data will be published provided we have a statistically significant number of responses. For example, "45% of Evesham residents told us they are concerned about crime", or "82% of Evesham residents back plans to redevelop the Riverside Centre". We will not publish individual responses.
Your personal data - that is, your name, address and contact details, if you have supplied them, as well as your demographic information supplied on the last page of the survey - will never be published or shared with anyone else.
Yes; we understand that people's opinions may change over time, and the questions on the survey may be updated to reflect local circumstances. So feel free to come back to the survey and re-take it, even if you have previously filled it in.
The statistics will be refreshed regularly to ensure that we are only taking account of the most recent surveys. That's one of the reasons we ask for your address, it means that where the same person at the same address re-takes the survey we can update the statistics to reflect their most recent response.
We ask for your address for three reasons:
To help ensure that we are only getting survey responses from people who live in, or near, Evesham. Unfortunately, online surveys can be prone to being spammed by people with no connection to the area, and that would make the results meaningless. Asking for your address is one of the measures we take to ensure data quality.
So that we can allocate responses to different electoral wards, divisions and localities in the town. We recognise that people have different opinions based on where they live, and we want to be able to take that into account. For example, people living in Great Hampton may have a different opinion on parking in town to people living in The Rynal, and it's helpful to us to be able to capture that.
Where applicable, to facilitate democratic engagement based on your political opinions and demographics in accordance with our Data Protection and Privacy policy. This will only be done with your permission and you are not obliged to provide us with any data which falls into this category.
Although we ask for your address, it is possible for you to take the survey if your address isn't listed in the dropdown box. See below for further information on postcodes and addresses.
We have every postcode for Evesham and the surrounding villages as of the most recent data from the Office of National Statistics. We're currently only accepting survey responses from residential properties with a WR10, WR11 or WR12 postcode. If your postcode is in one of those areas, but we don't recognise it, it may be either that it's a very new postcode or it's a postcode that, as far as we can tell, only contains commercial (non-residential) properties.
If you think we've made a genuine error, and should be accepting a postcode that's coming back as unrecognised, please get in touch and we'll check it out.
To avoid the address dropdown box becoming too unwieldy, we're only listing addresses that we believe to be residential. But this data isn't 100% reliable, so it is possible that we've missed some. If you scoll to the bottom of the address list it does have an option to take the survey if your address is missing.
Yes, that's one of your rights under GDPR. To request a copy of your data, or ask for it to be deleted, you can do so by emailing us at

Please note that we will need to verify that you are requesting access to your own data, and not anybody else's. To do that, we will normally cross-check against the electoral roll to ensure that your name and address match your request.
