Brentford Community Survey


 Results of initial phase amongst Brentford
 residents
 July 2010
Background and objectives

Brentford Community Council has undertaken a
survey to ask local people and organisations involved
in Brentford what they would like to see improved in
Brentford.
The questionnaire results will inform a community-
owned 'Community Strategy and Action Plan' to help
guide the Council, councillors, businesses and other
service providers where support and investment
should be prioritised.
The project spans across residents, businesses and
charities. However this first iteration will focus on
residents only
A note on the sample profile
   achieved so far
   So far we have interviewed 136n Brentford Residents
   The majority have lived in Brentford for at least 6 years and tend
   to be involved in the community.
   A note of caution: base sizes are sometimes low for subgroup
   analysis but when relevant data cuts are shown for qualitative
   reading and flagged as low base sizes.
   Note: see local statistics in appendix section for reference.

About You & Brentford
About You & Brentford


Residents surveyed show attachment to
Brentford as very few intend to leave in
the short to medium term
How long you have lived in Brentford tends to correlate with anticipated length of stay
(although too few recent joiners to draw conclusions) which seems to suggest a divide of
residents between the core and a more transient population.
Encouragingly 41% of those who have lived here under 6 years intend to stay at least as
long.
Long term residents are loyal to Brentford: 2 thirds who have lived in Brentford forever
intend to stay forever
69% intend on staying at least 6 years and only 8% plan on leaving the town within the next
2 years.

How long have you been in Brentford (whether living, working
or playing here) and how long do you see yourself staying for?

About You & Brentford


 There is a variety of reasons cited in
 relation to an eventual move out of
 Brentford
Reasons to move out of Brentford:
(Open question)




 Retirement, desire to move out in the countryside or just having to
 return back home were frequent reasons cited for eventually leaving
 Brentford.
 Work relocation also unsurprisingly was often cited.
 More worryingly we note a sense of despair vis a vis the regeneration of
 the High Street, some people ‘giving up’ on seeing improvements.

About You & Brentford


A tale of two cities?
Brentford is perceived as a friendly but
run down place
How do you see Brentford (first three adjectives that spring to
mind when you think of Brentford)?
(Open question)




Brentford is first and foremost perceived as a friendly place and
to a smaller extent a community.
We also note frequent mentions to the historical nature of the
town.
However almost as top of mind are impressions of a run down,
shabby, neglected, tired or even dirty place.

   Majority of residents either opt for a mix
   mode of transportation or drive to
   commute in and out of Brentford

   more popular amongst new residents (under 2 years)
   Conversely driving tends to be more prominent amongst those who
   have lived for over 6 years


   Main modes of transportation:
           –    Combination 37%

The project spans across residents, businesses and charities. However this first iteration will focus on residents only
