About this template
Community Development Priorities is a ready-to-use survey template with 5 questions that takes about 3 minutes to answer. Involve citizens in budgeting and planning by asking what to prioritize next.
Government templates cover citizen service quality, public infrastructure, municipal services and e-governance portals. Public-sector surveys reach the widest possible audience, so plain wording matters more here than anywhere else: write questions that make sense read aloud, and avoid departmental jargon the respondent has no reason to know. Everything in this template is editable — treat the questions below as a starting point that already has the structure right, then cut what does not apply to you.
- Who should use it
- Municipal bodies, government departments and public service delivery teams.
- When to use it
- After a citizen interaction, and periodically for infrastructure and area-level feedback.
What this template helps you measure
- Price and value perception
- Support and issue resolution
- Which factors combine, not just which one wins
- Preferences across a fixed set of options
- Scored ratings you can trend over time
- A clean split you can segment every other answer by
Every question in this template
5 questions, with what each one is doing there. Change or remove any of them after you make your copy.
Which areas should receive more budget next year?*
Multiple choice- Education and schools
- Healthcare facilities
- Roads and transport
- Parks and recreation
- Employment programs
Why this matters: Letting people pick several options about price and perceived value avoids forcing a false choice between two things that both apply.
What is the single biggest issue facing your community?*
Single choice- Traffic and congestion
- Water shortage
- Unemployment
- Pollution
- Safety and crime
Why this matters: Makes how issues get resolved countable: you get a ranked list you can act on rather than a pile of sentences to read.
How much do you trust local government to act on citizen feedback?*
ScaleWhy this matters: Turns a subjective impression into a score you can trend over time and compare across teams or locations.
Would you attend a public consultation meeting?
Yes / NoWhy this matters: Two answers means two segments, and segments are what make the rest of the report readable.
Describe one project you would like to see in your area
Long textWhy this matters: Unprompted wording surfaces problems you did not think to ask about — the ones no fixed-option question in this template would have caught.
