There are just two weeks remaining for Hucknall residents along with the rest of the county to have their say on local issues.

Nottinghamshire County Council are carrying out the "Big Notts Survey" which closes on Sunday September 19. The survey gives people the opportunity to have their say about the state of Nottinghamshire's roads and pavements, schools, libraries, health care, policing and much more?

Following an extremely low response rate of less than 1% so far, Ashfield District Council Leader Jason Zadrozny is encouraging residents to have their say about Nottinghamshire's priorities over the next decade.

Councillor Zadrozny said, "I would urge Ashfield residents to take part in this crucial survey. The biggest complaint we receive as councillors is about the state of our broken roads and pavements. The County Council are directly responsible for both the state and safety of our highways. This is Ashfield's opportunity to tell County Hall in huge numbers that we want them to prioritise fixing them.

"The County Council are also responsible for our schools, our recycling centres, our youth services, many of our bus services, social care and much more. The Council have promised to analyse, listen and act on every response. Independent councillors pass on complaints and representations from residents to the County on a daily basis. This is your chance to make your voice heard.

"As we recover from COVID – it's more important than ever that we have our say about future of services provided by the County Council. So I am asking for a big favour from residents in Hucknall, Kirkby, Selston, Sutton and across the Ashfield District – please take part. The survey only takes a few minutes but it could help drive more services our way."
