4. Q1

   As part of plans to find £3.1 million of savings, Hollinbrook District Council is considering changing general waste (black bin) collections from every two weeks to every three weeks.

   One answer

   • Tend to support
   • Neither support nor oppose
   • Tend to oppose
   • Strongly oppose

   Judges: leading

   Introducing the proposal through the council's £3.1 million savings target frames it as a response to financial necessity before asking about support, steering respondents towards approval.

   Including 'As part of plans to find £3.1 million of savings' provides a justification that pushes respondents to support the change, rather than just asking about the change itself.

5. Q2

   Which of the following apply to your household? (Please select all that apply)

   Any that apply
   • There is at least one child under 5 years old in the household (using nappies)
   • Someone in the household uses continence products (such as incontinence pads) or hygiene products for medical reasons
   • Someone in the household has a medical condition that creates extra waste (such as dressings, catheters, or stoma bags)
   • None of the above
   • Prefer not to say

   Scale

   Scale 1-5: Very difficult to Very easy

7. Q4

   The council is considering the following options. Which one do you most prefer?

   One answer
   • Move to three-weekly general waste collections across the whole district
   • Move to three-weekly general waste collections, but provide extra support for households that need it (such as a larger bin, or extra collections for nappies and hygiene waste)
   • Pilot three-weekly general waste collections in some areas of the district first, before deciding about the whole district
   • Keep general waste collections as they are now (every two weeks)

   • Somewhat more supportive

    Judges: assumptive

    It assumes residents know their ward. Residents who do not know have no applicable response, so a required answer would force guessing and compromise geographic comparisons.

    The wards are listed only as 'Ward 1' to 'Ward 6', with no names or areas. Residents cannot map these labels to where they live. There is also no 'don't know' option, which assumes every respondent knows their ward. The ward answers, which the ward-level analysis relies on, would be unreliable.
