“As part of the Local Plan Review we want to look at retail and ensure that the needs of the future can be planned for and look at some of the issues affecting the retail sector in our district.

“The study is using a variety of methods to gather information and for those who choose to take part, this is an excellent opportunity to be involved in helping our district plan for the future.

The information provided will help give us a better understanding of how and where people like to shop and spend their leisure time.”

All information gained from surveys will remain confidential and will be handled according to Data Protection Register principles.
