Seven out of 10 people are very or fairly satisfied with the way their council is supporting them and their household during the coronavirus pandemic, Local Government Association research has found.

The polling also found that more than six out of ten people were very or fairly satisfied with the way their council was supporting their community during the pandemic.

Nine out of 10 people said their council was managing very or fairly well to keep its services running normally during the lockdown while 77% thought their council was managing the response to coronavirus well.

However, more than half of the people polled thought their council was not keeping them very or fairly well informed about the pandemic.
