megilleland Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 In The Guardian today: How WELL do you know YOUR area? Seven questions that will tell you how well you know your local area This interactive quiz by the data visualisation centre at the Office for National Statistics (ONS) tests your demographic knowledge about where you live. Pop in your postcode and answer the questions to see if you're a local expert - you might be surprised by what you find out. Who made this? The ONS Data Visualisation Centre My local knowledge rating of Belmont 59% Not bad, but room for improvement I wonder how well our councillors would do?

Slim Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Oh dear. 39% for me on questions about 3 Elms Ward. Religion did it for me as well along with the other 6 questions.

twowheelsgood Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 40% for me in Central Ward - in my defence it does cover the City Centre, which does skew the number of dwellings, but I should have done better ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
