Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the Local Government Association reports Resident satisfaction with councils' response to COVID-19, published in May, and Polling on resident satisfaction with councils: Round 26, published in June, and in particular, the findings on levels of trust in councils.

We read the LGA reports with interest. They show an increase in both resident satisfaction and trust in local councils since February. This reflects the vital role local authorities are playing to keep their communities safe during the Covid-19 pandemic.
