Alcohol Needs Assessment

Overview

North Northamptonshire Council's Public Health team are currently drafting an Alcohol Needs Assessment, which will support future planning and design of alcohol support services. 

We want to hear from people living across North Northamptonshire to help us gain an insight about people’s drinking behaviours and patterns, including the reasons people choose not to drink alcohol.

Your feedback will help us:

• Understand levels and patterns of people’s alcohol intake which can vary significantly between different populations
• Compare these local results with national surveys conducted
• Take effective action on alcohol-related harms and identify key priorities for improving services and planning future support

Please share your feedback via the survey link below, or alternatively via email or post:

Your responses will be carefully analysed and combined with other data to guide decisions about funding, service improvements, and future planning. All answers are anonymous, and no one will be able to identify you from your responses.

We thank you in advance for taking the time to complete.

Please note the survey template is based on the Ipsos 2016 Local Alcohol Survey commissioned by Public Health England.

This survey closes at 23.59 on 27 July 2025.
