Winter gritting service - Almost three-quarters of respondents (74%) are satisfied with the winter gritting services - Over a third of respondents (35%) feel they are well informed about the winter gritting services but over half of respondents (53%) don't feel well informed or informed at all. - Panel members were most likely to get their information on winter gritting services from radio travel bulletins (27%), television travel bulletins (23%), and word of mouth (25%). Around a fifth of respondents didn't receive any information through the listed channels (22%). Financial inclusion - Almost all respondents (98%) have a bank or a building society current account. - Almost all respondents (98%) can access to their day-to-day finances from a post office, bank or building society. - Over a quarter of respondents (26%) would not know who to go to for advice about not being able to meet regular payments on outstanding debts, or a sudden loss of income eg redundancy. - Three out of every ten respondents (30%) would not know who to go to for advice about struggling to make ends meet, and almost three out of every ten respondents (28%) would not know who to go to for advice about a large sudden one off cost, eg repairs to a car. |
