Blackdown Hills Local Issues Survey

Blackdown hills survey

Over the last few months, since launching our Farming, Energy and the Environment campaign, we’ve been out across the Blackdown Hills speaking with residents about the issues that matter most to them.

From flooding and potholes to council tax, development, local services and public transport, people are telling us they’re concerned about the direction of travel and whether they’re really getting value for money.

We want to hear from you.

If we haven’t had the chance to speak to you yet, please take a few minutes to complete our February 2026 Local Issues Survey below. Your answers will help us understand what’s happening in your area, shape our priorities, and strengthen our campaign to stand up for local communities across the Blackdown Hills.

Thank you for taking the time to have your say.
