We also host an independent online survey conducted by market leader Nielson NetRatings - the results of this feedback can be viewed here:

The decrease in website traffic you see at the beginning of 2007 is due to the temporary loss of Google referrals which effectively meant all common search terms (such as "tameside", "tameside council" and "tameside mbc") are missing from these stats. As from around the 14th May 2007, these issues have been resolved
