As part of work on our new Local Development Plan we want to find out how and where people like to shop, eat, drink and spend leisure time in the town centres of the borough.
And we are looking to speak to 800 households for their feedback.

Research company 'NEMS Market Research' will conduct the survey on our behalf and they will be calling residents - mostly outside normal working hours to make sure as many households can take part. Any personal information will be treated in confidence - but you’re under no obligation to take part if contacted.

If anyone who receives a call has concerns at any point, they should hang up and report it to [email protected].

More on the New Local Plan and 'NEMS' is available through the links in comments
