People living in Exeter are being asked to give their views on a variety of topics ranging from what it’s like living in Exeter, air quality, physical activity and planning charges.
Four major surveys are currently available on the City Council’s consultation and engagement website, Engage.
The Council is keen to get the views on as many people as possible and is encouraging people to fill in the surveys, which are quick and easy to do.
Residents Survey: 2026
Now in its third year, this survey helps the Council understand the views people have about the local area, the Council and Council services, and community safety.
The survey closes on 19 August.
Consultation: Improving Air Quality in Exeter
The City Council is consulting on its draft Air Quality Action Plan (2026–2030) and draft Air Quality Strategy (2026–2030).
The survey closes on 14 August.
Local Active Lives: 2026 Survey
The survey asks residents about how easy they find it to participate in physical activity, their overall wellbeing, and their views on the local community.
This will help develop initiatives and activities that will make a positive contribution to where people live.
There’s also a chance to win one of twenty £20 InExeter vouchers.
Consultation: Pre-application Advice Charging Schedule
The Council is seeking feedback on its draft pre-application charging document for non-major development.
The purpose of this consultation is to determine whether the proposed charging schedule, descriptions of the services offered, expected response times, exemptions, and supporting guidance are all clear, reasonable and user-friendly.
The survey closes on 5 August.
All surveys are available to complete online at the Engage website - Engage Exeter
Paper copies of the surveys are also available from the Civic Centre.
