From time to time we may carry out market research to help us find out local people's views, make decisions and improve our services.
This could be anything from what people think of a particular service we deliver, through to local shopping or work habits.
We may carry out the research ourselves, or we may appoint a company to help us.
All market research we carry out is voluntary and whilst we are very grateful to all those who take part in any surveys we carry out, we understand that you may not wish to take part.
If you do not wish to take part, please tell the market researcher and we will respect your decision.
All data provided to us as part of any market research we carry out will be stored in accordance with the Data Protection Act.
