Flintshire County Council has launched a new online survey asking residents to share their views about living in the county.

The ‘Let’s Talk: Living in Flintshire’ survey opened on 15 September and will remain open until 9 November 2025.

By taking part, residents will help the council to better understand what matters to them, their experience of their local area, and how they view and interact with the council.

People unable to complete the survey online can visit any of the council’s Connects Centres for support. Details of opening times are available on the council’s website or by calling 01352 703020.

Support will also be offered via the Gwella Mobile Library, which will visit communities across Flintshire during the consultation period.

Gwella Mobile Library visiting dates and locations:

Tuesday 30 September: Caerwys, Calcoed, Brynford, Ysceifiog, Nannerch

Thursday 2 October: Talacre, Gronant, Gwaenysgor, Gwespyr, Mostyn, Penyffordd (CH8)

Wednesday 15 October: Penymynydd, Penyffordd (CH4), Hope, Oaklea Grange, Kinnerton

Friday 17 October: Mancot, Mynydd Isa, Ewloe, Green Lane East

Wednesday 22 October: Hawarden, Sealand, Ewloe, New Brighton, Shotton, Higher Shotton

Friday 24 October: Gwernymynydd, Gwernaffield, Rhosesmor, Rhydymwyn

Tuesday 4 November: Llanfynydd, Ffrith, Abermorddu, Caergwrle, Leeswood, Treuddyn

Thursday 6 November: Saltney Ferry, Saltney, Sandycroft, Flint Mountain, Northop, Northop Hall

Councillor Dave Hughes, Leader of the Council, said:

“Balancing budgets with public expectation is challenging for all public sector organisations and understanding the views and opinions of local people, and giving them opportunities to have their say in helping to deliver improvements wherever possible, continues to be a priority for the Council.

“Not only will the survey identify what people think now in 2025, but by asking people the same questions over time, the Council will be able to compare results and identify where things have improved along with where work may be needed.

“I would encourage residents to take part and have their say.”

The council says the results will help identify priorities and shape future services. Once analysed, the findings will be published on the council’s website and made available at Connects Centres across Flintshire.
