Over recent years we’ve conducted surveys asking local people about their attitudes and beliefs about LGBTQIA+ people, and what Congleton is like for them as a place to live, work and socialise. With this data collected in autumn 2020 and then again in spring 2023, you can see how the town has evolved since we started asking these questions…

Each time, we split the questions into two separate surveys: the first about attitudes to LGBTQIA+ people held among the general population of Congleton, and the second about the experiences and views of LGBTQIA+ people themselves. We’d like to thank the many people who gave us their views and experiences.
