Thank you for completing this short survey, which is six questions long, from the Bridport and West Bay Coastal Community Team (CCT).

Please note that the deadline for completing this survey is Friday 4th December.

Your answers will help the CCT develop an economic plan for the local area. We hope to use the economic plan to access grant funding for projects that will benefit the area.

If you wish to find out more about the CCT you can visit our web page here

You may also have heard about a neighbourhood plan being developed in the area. This should not be confused with the CCT or its economic plan, though there will be links between them.

Your survey answers will be un-attributable and will only be used to create information for the CCT.
