RESIDENTS are being asked what they think about Wigan Council.
A survey asking a range of questions about the council's services is being sent out to 4,250 homes across the borough.
The council says it is an important piece of research and that the results will help to shape services in the future.
As part of The Deal, the council has committed to 'listen, be open and honest'.
The Deal is an informal contract between the council and residents and includes a commitment for both sides to work together to make the borough a better place.
The survey has been sent to a representative sample of residents to complete.
Everyone who completes it will be entered into a draw to win an iPad.
The questions cover topics such as recycling, roads and anti-social behaviour.
A similar survey was sent to homes in 2014. The results found that residents loved living in the borough, with three quarters saying they were satisfied with where they lived and 71 per cent saying they felt like they 'belonged' to their neighbourhood.
Cllr Terry Halliwell, cabinet member for service transformation, said: βIt is really important residents tell us what they think about the services we provide.
"Their views will help us to make vital decisions in the future and will ensure we are delivering the best service possible.β
Surveys take just 15 minutes to complete and should be returned by October 21, 2016.
