500 answer Torsten’s 60-second survey

Torsten Bell, MP for Swansea West, has thanked more than 500 people for taking part in his 60-second survey, which closed to new submissions this week. 

The survey ran over Parliament’s summer recess. It asked residents for their biggest concerns about the local community, as well as what brings them pride about living in Swansea.  

Preliminary findings show:  

• Improving the NHS was voted the most important item Mr Bell should focus on 

• ‘Kind people’ and ‘beautiful natural surroundings’ were the most commonly cited sources of pride for living in Swansea.  

Mr Bell’s office will analyse the results in more detail over the coming weeks, with a full report to be published later this year. 

Torsten Bell said:  

“I've been blown away by the response to this survey. Hundreds of people have submitted thoughtful and considered insights on the biggest challenges our community faces, as well as the best things about living in Swansea. I'm so grateful to everyone who took the time.  

“Residents of Swansea West want to see real improvements to our city – and I’ll be working every day to deliver them. There’s a lot to be done. But I truly believe that if we continue to work together, we can make a difference.”
