Artists and Makers Quarter survey

Hereford Community Land Trust / Artlandish

If you’re interested in having and using facilities for artists and makers (with or without affordable housing) in Hereford City Centre it would be really helpful if you could complete this survey of 21 questions. With the exception of one addition, the questions are identical to those we asked in December 2020, which eventually led to Artlandish. By comparing the two sets of answers we will be better able to work with the council, shop owners and others to create the facilities which people would like to see. If you want to know more or have any questions, contact Andy Johnson: andyjohnson@phonecoop.coop.
1.I would like to complete this survey from Hereford Community Land Trust and consent to my data being collected for the purpose of this survey only.
2.Would access to an affordable workspace in the centre of Hereford and/or affordable housing be of interest to you? (As an example, an ‘affordable’ 1 bedroomed flat in the centre of Hereford would have a rent of somewhere between £95 and £120 per week.)
3.If looking for a workspace, what size of unit would you need?
4.If looking for workspace, what floor to ceiling height would you need (roughly)?
5.Would it be critical for your workspace to be on a ground floor, or with suitable access for people with disabilities and for delivery/collection of materials, or would you be happy with an upper floor workspace?
6.Within that workspace, please tick any of the following that you would need:
7.What type of art/craft work do you practise? (please tick all that apply)
8.Are there any communal facilities you think that an Artists and Makers Quarter should have (please list)?
9.Rather than having permanent premises it is possible that an Artists and Makers Quarter could be created by using empty shops, moving premises as shops are let. Would you still be interested in having work and exhibition space in such circumstances?
10.If looking for affordable housing, would you be looking to rent, to share ownership (i.e. part rent / part buy) or to buy?
11.Only answer if you have answered question 10. How many bedrooms would you need in your accommodation (i.e for yourself and family)?
12.Current dwelling – what type of property do you currently live in?
13.If you currently rent your home, approximately what percentage of income, after any tax, do you spend on rent?
14.Are you registered with Home Point (the route for obtaining affordable housing in Hereford)?
15.What is your connection to Hereford (tick all that apply)?
16.Your age?
17.What is your gender?
18.What is your ethnicity?
19.Only complete if you wish to be be kept in touch with progress to create an Artists and Makers Quarter in the centre of Hereford, or if you wish to be involved in helping create such a Quarter. If you do, please tick the relevant boxes. By ticking either of these boxes you consent to receive information relating to this survey.
20.If you wish to be involved, do you have any particular skills which you feel you could offer?
21.Your contact details (only complete if you ticked one of the options in Q19)
