ImaginationLancaster – Lancaster Universities design-led research lab, in conjunction with Lancaster City Council and Blackburn with Darwen Council commissioned BMG Research to conduct a wide-ranging ‘Life Survey’ interview to establish the views, attitudes and experiences of residents in each area.

Lancaster City Council and Blackburn with Darwen Council priorities formed a key part of the survey development throughout, resulting in a survey structure which combines the needs of different stakeholders, based on four themes: Health and Wellbeing, Wealth and Opportunity, Sustainability, Transport and Travel and Connected Communities and Services.

The Life Survey dataset was analysed by BMG Research who produced 3 Topline Reports - a report of survey insights in each area and a report comparing survey insights from the Lancaster District with Blackburn with Darwen.

ImaginationLancaster also collaborated with Connected Places Catapult to create a data visualisation dashboard which was utilised to create six Life Survey case studies interrogating a range of topics within the Life Survey data.

A Data Analysis report by Connected Places Catapult, the Technical Report by BMG Research and the Life Survey questionnaire is also available.
