Maldon District Council is encouraging people across the district to complete its annual residents and business survey - before it closes next month.

The survey, which is in its third year, allows residents and businesses to give the council their views to help shape its services, make changes and plan for the future - particularly following the challenges of the pandemic.

It will close on Friday, 10 December.

A spokesperson for Maldon District Council said: "Giving the council your views is vital to help shape services, make changes and to help the council plan for the future.

"This is always important but as the district starts to move on after the Covid lockdowns, it is crucial to understand what residents and businesses think so that the council can make its plans for the future.

"The council is encouraging as many residents and businesses as possible to complete this survey this year."

In 2020, 275 residents and 28 businesses responded to the questionnaire.
