Results





Katy carried out a constituency survey earlier this year. These are the results. Katy is taking up the various issues which constituents have raised with her and using he detailed results to highlight specific problems to the various authorities. She is very grateful to those who took part in the survey.

SURVEY RESULTS

The survey highlighted the serious problem of anti social behaviour in many parts of North Ayrshire and Arran - most people rated as the most important issue locally. The only areas which did not rate this as the most important were Largs, Skelmorlie and Arran which placed healthcare top.

Overall healthcare was rated as the second most important problem locally with policing and the local environment coming next.

Local employment was highlighted as a particular problem by many of those who responded from Kilwinning. Lack of funds for regeneration (and for the Irvine Bay Regeneration Company), derelict building and lack of facilities were repeatedly mentioned by those who responded from The Three Towns.

Difficulties with TV reception were mentioned by many from Largs and Skelmorlie and 60% of those who responded from Arran mentioned the problem of affordable housing. The need for regeneration of town centres, better public transport, unemployment, the problem with dog fouling and the lack of facilities for those with disabilities featured highly in responses from Beith, Dalry and Kilbirnie.
