How do I complete the IDB survey?

SLCC and NALC would like local councils to complete a survey sharing information about how their council operates.

Parish Online are hosting the survey and the resulting map data to visualise the results.

To fill in the survey:
  1. Go to www.parish-online.co.uk/idb
  2. Start typing the name of your council into the Council Name box
  3. Select yours as it appears in the drop-down
  4. Click START SURVEY
  5. Fill in the survey questions as they appear, clicking NEXT after each one. If there are any you are not sure of that are optional, just click NEXT.
  6. Once the form has been completed, you can close the browser window, or go to the next step to browse the results in map form.
  7. Click CONTINUE TO MAP
  8. Use the interactive map to zoom to your area
  9. Expand any of the National Maps collections and click on any of the results to see a visualisation of the results.
If anything within your council changes, or you want to make amendments, you can go back to the start and fill in the form again.
