How are we doing?
Mori survey 2008
In 2008 around 400 households in the New Deal area were surveyed as part of the National Evaluation of New Deal for Communities Household Survey. We now have the results - which continue to show how much the area is improving for those who live here. The first such survey was done in 2002, and we can now update you on how what residents think has changed since then
