CLG recently released the new citizenship survey results for April – June 2009. The survey is a really valuable resource for our project and anyone interested in participation. Some of the statistics in the publication could be a cause for concern, especially the ones relating to public participation and community empowerment, for instance:

• only 35% of people felt they could influence decisions in their local area compared to 44% in 2001.

but some are slightly more reassuring:

• 43% adults volunteered formally at least once in the 12 months prior to survey interview…this shows a small increase from the latest figures published for the year 2008-2009 (41%).
