Residents and visitors in Norrtälje, Rimbo and Hallstavik can answer the municipality's summer public-space survey from 14 September to 5 October. Topics include park maintenance, street cleaning and road safety. Responses are anonymous and will inform development, but the survey is open rather than a statistical random sample.
What happened?
The municipality invites everyone living in or visiting the three towns to describe what worked well and what could improve in public spaces. The digital questionnaire is reached through an external link and is presented as taking around two minutes.
Comments may cover green-space maintenance, cleaning and road safety. Because visitors can participate as well as residents, the material may include both everyday local perspectives and experiences from temporary stays.
Location
Norrtälje, Rimbo, Hallstavik, Stockholms län
Impact and significance
Public spaces affect access, safety, amenity and how town centres are used. A low-threshold survey may capture problems not visible in fault reports or technical measurements. At the same time, respondents choose to participate, so results do not automatically represent every resident or visitor.
The municipality therefore needs to weigh responses with operational data, site visits, accident statistics and other consultation when setting priorities. A survey request is evidence, not an individual decision or promise of action.
Background
The survey concerns summer and the three towns of Norrtälje, Rimbo and Hallstavik. It should not automatically be generalised to all rural areas in the municipality or other seasons. The municipality says responses will be compiled to give a clearer picture of needs and preferences.
Anonymity means answers should not be linked to a respondent in the compilation, according to the municipal information. Users should still read the external survey service's current privacy notice before submitting sensitive details.
Latest update
The survey is open from 14 September through 5 October 2026. The notice does not state when a results report will be published or which projects may follow. Anyone wishing to participate must respond during the period and later follow municipal information on traffic, streets and parks.
