two.1.4) Short description
Provision of GM Residents' Survey service.
Since December 2020, we have been collecting regular insight from the people of
Greater Manchester about their attitudes, behaviours and experiences of living in
our city region - in the context initially of the Covid-19 (coronavirus) pandemic and
subsequently of our Greater Manchester Strategy ambitions.
We would like to build on the work that has happened to date, adding value to the
current research, whilst helping to develop a clear narrative around the views and
attitudes of people in Greater Manchester, as time progresses.
Over the last two years we've gathered extensive insight on people's attitudes and
behaviours to topics such as food security, the cost of living crisis, digital inclusion
and good work and homes.
To inform and evaluate delivery of our current Greater Manchester Strategy and
support its ongoing evolution and development, we intend to continue to gather
resident insight on key city region priorities.
This will help us to design, tailor, target and evaluate policy interventions and
communications and engagement approaches, and monitor the impact of these
actions over a period of time.
It will also help us to track our impact on communities overtime, so that we can be
accountable for the additional powers we have in Greater Manchester as part of our
devolution deal with government.
