Havering Council is committed to consulting with all of the people who have any involvement with our services and our Borough. The Council and other local groups who work in Havering need your views to help plan for the future.

We need you to tell us how well we are doing and what we need to do to better meet your needs. All the groups working in Havering welcome the views from as many people as possible, and from as many backgrounds as possible..

Living in Havering

Every year we commission the research company MORI to ask residents about life in Havering. We use the results from this major piece of work to shape our services. Some examples from the autumn 2006 survey:

In 2003/4, 55% of respondents said that Road and Pavement repairs were a priority for improvement. In 2006/7 it was 49%.	Capital Funding programmes moved forward with a number of successful carriageways and footway schemes completed to the value of £1.5m and on time!
81% of residents are satisfied with the waste collection overall. 25% think that the collection of household waste has got better.	The Green Waste Collection scheme commenced, with more than 5000 customers in place.
In 2003/4 52% said abandoned and burnt out cars was a problem in their area. In 2006/6 only 11% agreed.	There has been a significant improvement in abandoned vehicles removal performance during 2006/7, with averages at the lowest level for three years and the time taken to remove is now less than half a day.
