Local Government
Market Research

DJS Research has substantial experience in carrying out projects for Local Government. We have an excellent track record of conducting research with a number of councils, including:

Work which we have undertaken on behalf of councils has varied in nature and included:

• Conducting a number of resident surveys to evaluate perceptions of local areas and of council services, and covering topics such as community safety, community cohesion, digital inclusion, financial resilience, wellbeing and many more
• Gauging perceptions towards specific issues and schemes such as parks and open spaces, waste and recycling, and street lighting.
• Employee engagement surveys
• Customer satisfaction research with residents and businesses
• Active travel surveys
• Budget consultations

Islington Council said:

“Throughout the course of the work, Danny and Sharon were always helpful and made time to discuss any issues we may have had. They also kept us up to date with their progress at every stage of the process. DJS were friendly and helpful throughout the course of the work. They turned around good quality research findings within an extremely tight timeframe.”

DJS recently managed the London Borough of Waltham Forest employee survey. Feedback from Carla Johnson, Research and Consultation Manager gave us this feedback:

“Waltham Forest Council recently commissioned DJS to run our employee survey and it proved to be an excellent decision. DJS are fantastic to work with; from their partnership approach to working and their exceptional knowledge and expertise to their insightful reporting, we felt we were in the best of hands at each stage of the project. DJS are an excellent critical friend, whose main objective is to improve existing processes, to refine ideas and to ensure the best possible outcome for their clients."

In addition, we have also recently conducted two projects for Hull City Council. Andy Parkinson, Engagement & Research Advisor said that he was very satisfied with the service that we provided and went on to say:

“DJS Research provided an excellent service overall. Project was well managed, delivered on time, to a high quality standard and in particular response to questions and queries were dealt with extremely quickly. Well done DJS!”
