Key findings Overall, almost half of residents (49%) are satisfied with the overall service provided by Lancashire County Council. The majority (56%) of Lancashire residents say that Lancashire County Council's performance has stayed the same over the last three years. Residents' priorities for their area centre on `liveability' issues.

Residents think that many factors relating to `street scene' (eg clean streets, road and pavement repairs and level of crime) and quality of life in the area (eg affordable housing and cost of living) are getting worse. On the other hand, there is a general sense that specific Council services are getting better (eg local tips) or have remained the same (eg libraries, sports/leisure facilities and museums/galleries).
