Sense of community As a measure of community cohesion, community members were asked to indicate to what degree they agreed with the statement, ‘There is a strong sense of community in my local area’. 44.07% of survey respondents ‘agreed’ or ‘strongly agreed’ that there is a strong sense of community in their local area. Whilst responses to this question have fluctuated somewhat survey-to-survey, this result also represents slightly (7.61%) more agreement than was previously indicated by community members who responded to the 24-month survey.
