City Stakeholder Survey
Every three years the City of London Corporation surveys
residents, workers, businesses and senior executives in the City to
get a sense of how the 'Square Mile' and the City of London
Corporation are being perceived. The last survey was in 2009 and

City Stakeholder Survey web page.
