Local Government Market Research

Local Government Market Research

M·E·L Research is an established provider of research and insight to local government. We have an extensive track record of supporting local authorities to understand the priorities, needs and expectations of residents; of supporting formal consultations and of shaping service design and delivery.

With local authorities playing a central role in improving health and wellbeing, supporting the vulnerable, and shaping communities, we are proud to offer services that can help these key bodies make a difference.

Our areas of specialism include:

• Measuring resident perceptions about their council and their local area
• Exploring community cohesion and social capital
• Engaging stakeholders to inform Local Plans
• Budget setting consultations
• Analysis of consultation feedback to shape service design and planning decisions
• Active travel initiatives
• Measuring health behaviours and needs on behalf of Public Health teams.

We also have a strong record of delivering employee engagement research within local authorities and of measuring satisfaction with social housing services.
