Results of Café in the Park Questionnaire
Thank you to everyone who completed the survey about the café in the park, a lot of the comments and suggestions were very constructive and helpful. The survey closed on 1st November and there were 611 responses, of which 93.6% were positive, 1.8% undecided and 3.6 % negative.
A summary of the results to the various questions is available by clicking on the following link: CAFE & TOILETS IN THE HIGHAMS PARK – Survey results (1). For those of you with sufficient stamina for a long haul, the summary includes tables showing respondents’ comments which you may like to read through.
As there seems to be a lot of popular support for this project we are now preparing detailed costings and a business plan to put to the Council to request that the community take over the building. We appreciate that some respondents were negative about a café in the park, so where possible we will try and address their concerns in the business plan.
It is by no means certain that the Council will let us take over the building but we will give it our best shot. If the Council does allow us to use the building the next hurdle will be to raise the funding for the renovation but we are sure the local community is up to the challenge.
We will keep you posted as things develop.
