Q2. of 10

I am against the plan to put Wymondham into a new 'Greater Norwich' Council. But 6 out of 7 of Norfolk's district councils support the idea.

Which phrases represent what you think?

(Please tick one or more)

	Sounds like a good idea.
	I am worried about higher Council Tax.
	I am worried about more of our money being spent in Norwich instead of here in Wymondham.
	I am worried about having to take more of Norwich's new housing quota.
	I am worried about a more general loss of control & identity for our Town.

Q3. of 10

I think the authorities should now stop building any more houses in Wymondham until our infrastructure & facilities have caught up (e.g. school places, capacity at GP surgeries etc).

Do you agree with this approach?

(Please tick one)

Yes - it'll be a long time before everything catches up

Yes - but it won't take long for things to catch up.

No - our facilities are still good enough. We can fit more houses in.

Q4. of 10

With all this building & development around Wymondham, do you think the Council has done enough to tap contributions from developers & landowners to build infrastructure & facilities for local people?

(Please tick one)

Yes. The Council has got us the main things.

No. The Council should do more to raise these funds from developers & landowners.

Q5. of 10

Wymondham Town Centre now has quite a few empty units and the loss of shops is compounded by the loss of facilities like banks and the Post Office.

Do you think the Council is doing enough about it?

(Please tick one)

Yes. You can’t help the economy.

No. They need to give a lot more focus to keeping our Town Centre alive.

I think good work is now being done but more should have been done sooner.

Q6. of 10

I am against excessive Council Tax rises.

But what do you think should happen with the Council Tax going forward?

(Please tick one)

There should be a substantial increase in Council Tax to support investment in Council services.

The Council Tax should keep increasing gradually every year to maintain Council services.

The Council Tax should be frozen - the local taxpayer is already paying enough.

There should be a cut in the Council Tax. Local authorities should be better focussed on controlling costs.
