Community Survey
Most people are satisfied with their local area as a place to live, feel that they belong there, and believe that 
people in their community get on well with each other, survey results show. 
The figures suggest that people feel a positive connection to their local area - a strong foundation on which 
the Big Society can develop. The gap between the number of people who feel able to influence local 
decisions and those who think it's important to be able to (37 per cent and 73 per cent respectively) provides 
a good indication of the appetite in people for greater participation. 
Measures in the Localism Bill will devolve power to local communities and make it easier for people to get 
involved in civic participation and volunteering. 
Communities Minister Andrew Stunell said: 
"For the Big Society to work well, it's important that people get on with one another, feel some kind of 
attachment to the area in which they live and are involved in the decisions that affect them. The figures out 
today suggest that, while there is an appetite for getting involved, there are lots of people out there who want 
to do something but either don't know how or feel they can't. We want this to change. The measures in the 
Localism Bill and our drive to bust bureaucratic barriers will help to close this gap. Our actions will help 
create active, engaged communities, where the local people who know what's best for an area are trusted and 
equipped to get on with it and aren't held back by needless obstacles." 
The Localism Bill contains a radical package of reforms that will devolve greater power and freedoms to 
neighbourhoods, establish powerful new rights for communities, revolutionise the planning system, and 
give communities control over housing decisions.These reforms will give individuals and community 
groups the freedom and tools to improve their local areas to build their vision of the Big Society. 
Today's findings, based on interviews conducted between April and September last year, show that more 
people than in recent years believe their area is improving and fewer are worried about being a victim of 
crime.
