ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF THE SURVEY<br />
A questionnaire devised by the <strong>Chickerell</strong> <strong>Parish</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> steering group was delivered to every<br />
household as part of the process of producing an action plan for the parish. A total of 656 forms<br />
were <strong>com</strong>pleted and as can be seen from this<br />
graph, the majority of respondents live in<br />
WHAT AGE GROUP DO YOU BELONG TO <br />
<strong>Chickerell</strong> village. The graph also illustrates<br />
the extent of the "<strong>Parish</strong>", which surprised<br />
11-15<br />
many respondents.<br />
It must be borne in mind that, as with all<br />
16-17<br />
surveys, the following statistics refer only to<br />
18-24<br />
those who <strong>com</strong>pleted the questionnaire. In<br />
surveys of this type, however, it is generally<br />
25-44<br />
assumed that other residents would either<br />
45-59<br />
have views broadly in line with those<br />
expressed here, or have no strong feelings<br />
60-64<br />
about the issues raised.<br />

dwellings are mostly owner-occupied (86%), with Housing Association rental properties being the<br />
next group at 6.9%, followed by privately rented ac<strong>com</strong>modation at 3%.<br />
