How should Suffolk celebrate the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games?

The London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games offers a once in a generation opportunity for the communities of Suffolk to benefit socially, economically and environmentally from the largest event the world ever stages. Suffolk County Council is striving to make the most of this opportunity and as part of this process they would like to know what you think should happen in Suffolk during the summer of 2012 to involve local people in this unique event. Help us with our planning and have your say at www.surveymonkey.com/s/HJ3965G. The survey will take no more than a couple of minutes to complete.




Please help us to continue to improve the services you want by participating in these consultations and suggesting topics you feel need further investigation.


Details about the demographics of Forest Heath and the rest of Suffolk can be found on the Suffolk Observatory website.
