Sample Surveys have been commissioned across England to gather information about residents' views on reorganizing local government. Each survey typically has involved about 500 local residents in existing government districts. In these surveys insufficient weight has been accorded to "community identity" relative to other indices such as location and use of services by residents of the area. Specifically there have not been enough questions addressing community identity, and those questions that have addressed it have been unnecessarily complicated, unrealistic, or hypothetical. Clearly, those who think that the institutions that provide services to the local community should be organized with the community's perception of its own natural boundaries and sense of identity in mind were unlikely to be satisfied with the minimalist approach thus offered, and they are likely to seek redress. %@ 00224545
