Look out for Housing Survey 2011

A MAJOR HOUSING SURVEY is being undertaken by East Riding of Yorkshire Council, aimed at providing accurate and detailed information about housing in the East Riding. 

The survey is going out to around 85,000 households, including all households in rural areas and a sample in urban areas. Councillor Jane Evison, cabinet portfolio holder for cultural services, housing and public protection, said: “The council urges people to complete the survey as the information is most important in helping to develop policies for planning, affordable housing and the housing needs of particular groups such as the elderly.” 

The council stresses that the information provided will be treated in the strictest confidence and no published reports will allow identification of individuals. 

The return date for the survey is 7 February 2011. A report will be prepared for the general public in summer 2011 and information about the results will also be posted on the East Riding Council website.
