An independent research organisation, Alma Economics, has been commissioned to conduct a survey to understand how residents use these spaces, what they value, and what improvements they would welcome. The feedback will guide future decisions regarding enhancements to these community areas.
The anonymous survey, designed to take approximately five to 10 minutes to complete, asks about current usage patterns, valued aspects of the spaces, any difficulties encountered during visits, desired activities or improvements, and factors that might encourage more frequent visits by households.
Participation is encouraged from all local residents, whether they visit regularly, have not visited recently, or have never used the spaces. The council aims to gather a wide range of experiences and priorities.
Those interested can complete the survey online. Additionally, participants have the option to register their interest in a one-to-one interview, for which a £25 voucher will be offered, or a local workshop, with a £40 voucher provided as a thank you.
For any questions regarding the research, residents can contact Anna Pearson, Project Lead at Alma Economics.
