Wyre Council has launched the 2025 Life in Wyre survey so that residents can have their say about where they live, council services and other important health, wellbeing and community topics.
The Life in Wyre survey is open to all Wyre residents and is easy to complete online on the Wyre Council website or via a postal copy that will be delivered to a randomly generated sample of residents across the borough. The survey takes approximately 10 minutes and every person over 16 who takes part and completes the survey have the option to be entered into a free prize draw as a thank you for taking part.
Prizes include a YMCA 3-month membership (for Fleetwood, Thornton, Poulton and Garstang leisure centres), a voucher for the Council’s MOT Centre at Copse Road in Fleetwood, or a voucher to purchase tickets for a show at Marine Hall Theatre.
Wyre Council undertakes the Life in Wyre survey to understand satisfaction levels across the borough, benchmark progress since the last survey conducted and observe the changes in perceptions over time. The survey covers a number of questions about the area, local services, communications and more.
The survey is open for all residents to take part in from Monday 17 February and must be completed by Monday 24 March.
