with reference to the above article in last weeks Observer,I need help with this one....
comment .....86% of Hyndburn residents have told us they want to feel safe in their homes... Question...where did that figure come from?????

flashy · 26-02-2007, 18:16

oh thats gotta be a made up percentage...i'm sure they meant 6% its a typing error

jimmyjim · 26-02-2007, 18:18

i'm sure if you actually asked the question then it would be100%

flashy · 26-02-2007, 18:19

lol sorry jimmy i read it wrong lol

WillowTheWhisp · 26-02-2007, 18:21

lol who are these 14% who don't want to feel safer in their homes?

Anyway, who was asked? Nobody asked me.

I get what you mean jimmy.. were do these percentage figures come from?
I saw a programme about health issues on telly when an "expert" informed us that high blood pressure affected 60 million people in the UK... thats a high percentage considering the population of the UK is just under 60 million!

I know I fill out a questionaire about once a month for HBC one of them was on crime but not sure how many people they are sent to and its certainly not the majority of households so where they get 86% I dont know.

That's a bit of a daft statistic.

Everyone wants to feel safe in their homes.

WillowTheWhisp · 26-02-2007, 21:32

Oooh I wonder how they choose who to send them to.

Gayle · 26-02-2007, 21:35

You can sign up to take part - it's called Feedback, I do it too - there's probably something on the HBC website about it.

WillowTheWhisp · 26-02-2007, 21:38

Oh thanks Gayle, I'll have a look at that.

Gayle · 26-02-2007, 21:42

I've tried to find it but the link doesn't seem to be working.
