Batford Neighbourhood Survey

Harpenden Town Council would like to make improvements across the whole community and is looking at what it can do to improve Batford as a local Neighbourhood. Rather than develop community initiatives that we think are needed, we want to hear from local people about their views on the area. This survey aims to gather the thoughts of people living in the Batford neighbourhood including what is working well locally and what could be improved.

Please note that the closing date to complete this survey is 2nd September 2024.

Thank you for taking the time to take part in this important survey.
