The document summarizes the results of a survey conducted by the local Chamber of Commerce. The survey gathered feedback from the local business community on issues like transport infrastructure, broadband access, mobile networks, council services, and whether businesses work together well. It also collected opinions on whether the district is viewed as vibrant for business and easy to find employees. Additional questions focused on living in the district, such as the vibrancy of the town center, availability of jobs for young people, and willingness to recommend the area to others. The conclusions note that mobile network access could be improved and there is interest in the Chamber providing support. Revitalizing the town center and helping to create jobs, especially for youth, are also areas that require attention
