A TEESSIDE council is to send a community survey to hundreds of homes.

Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council is to distribute 1,750 questionnaires at random to homes in the borough's 22 wards. The consultation exercise covers all aspects of the council's work - from public transport information to recreational activities.

Julian Kensholme, policy co-ordinator for the council, said: "This is a vital exercise that brings us valuable information on a whole range of our activities. It also gives us the benefit of the public's knowledge on how they perceive our performances and in what areas they would like us to improve."

The results of the survey are expected before the end of October
