Blackburn with Darwen Council is asking residents for their thoughts on the borough’s highways and transport services.
And they’ve teamed up with Ewood Bikes to launch a new competition offering the chance to win £200 to spend on a new bike.
Residents are being asked to rate the condition of the roads and pavements in the borough as well as their views on public transport, footpaths and cycle routes.

The council isn’t asking residents to complete them all, just the ones which are relevant to them.
Councillor Zainab Rawat, Blackburn with Darwen Council’s Executive Member for Growth and Development, say:
The surveys give everyone the opportunity to tell the council what they think about the borough’s roads, pavements, cycle lanes, footpaths, public transport services and more.
The scores will help the council identify what is important to residents and where improvements can be made
The council has teamed up with Ewood Bikes to launch the competition where the lucky winner, picked at random, will receive a £200 voucher to spend on a new bike or equipment.
All you have to do is complete the survey, take a screenshot of the end – you can even add a selfie and a thumbs up if you like! – and drop it in a message to the Council’s Facebook or Twitter page.
If you don’t have social media, you can email the picture with your contact details to: shuttle@blackburn.gov.uk
The surveys are really quick and easy to complete and available by visiting the council website: www.blackburn.gov.uk/nhtsurvey.
The more surveys you complete, the more chances you have of winning.
The deadline for entering the prize draw is Monday, November 2.
