In principle this category
would have been distributed
mainly to local people – the
relative results agree with
this. Low returns are probably
because any local person
given a leaflet on the street
and who wished to respond
did so by other means.
The rate of website returns
was much higher than any
other type. There was also an
additional 29 users who
started the questionnaire but
did not provide enough
information to be valid.
Overall non-local returns
are at nearly three times the
rate of local returns.
Most return rates are low.
* % are relative to the number of questionnaire distributed by each method.
3.2.3 Further investigation is required to identify methods of obtaining better
response rates for future projects.

35-40% of the population.
• As expected very few people under 17 responded.
• People aged 60 or over responded roughly in line with expectations.
• Locally, people aged 17-29 responded roughly in line with expectations.
