South Taranaki Star

Service satisfies Stratford

- PETRA FINER

Stratford residents are super satisfied with their little slice of paradise.

The central Taranaki-ites completed a recent customer satisfacti­on survey for the Stratford District Council and results showed it was considered a safe, healthy and attractive place to live.

Corporate services director Mark Weidenbohm said ‘‘the survey has provided a valuable indication of how residents view council’s performanc­e and gives officers direction for future projects and planning’’.

With ratings of 96 per cent for attractive­ness, 98 per cent for feeling safe and 96 per cent for Stratford offering a healthy lifestyle, Weidenbohm felt the results were overwhelmi­ngly positive.

Residents also rated the services the council provides including water supply, roading, park, regulatory services, community services, the informatio­n centre, library and customer service. ’’Most of the questions asked the respondent­s to rate the service or activity on a scale from 1 to 10, with 1 being ‘poor’ and 10 being ’excellent’.

‘‘Overall the results were similar to last year’s survey.’’

Overall satisfacti­on levels were similar to 2015. A large number of additional comments were received, and these, together with the rating results, suggest that Stratford District’s residents remain reasonably satisfied.
