The economy is recovering from a state of recession, but local authority funding cuts of 25% will have knock-on effects. Winchester City Council has an aim of economy prosperity, and wants to find out from the business community it serves what it should do in future to help make that aim a reality.

Winchester has five core industries;
• Tourism
• Knowledge and creative industries
• Land based industries
• Public administration and business services
• Retail

We know that not every business neatly fits into one of these categories, and can in fact cover multiple sectors. We therefore want to know what businesses from all sectors want from their local authority. Completing this short questionnaire will enable you to put forward your views on the best ways we can continue to help you.

Please spend a few minutes answering the following 8 questions. The closing date is Monday 14 February 2011.
