HOUSING NEEDS SURVEY
by the HOUSING GROUP
These surveys are very important for the future of Cove and Kilcreggan, and without proper engagement with people living and working here, we’ll never know for sure what type of housing we need in the future. Its critical to know this so that we can make sure we have the right mix of housing to keep our community healthy and vibrant.
For instance, there is a perception that we don’t have enough housing to retain our youngsters, that there’s a lack of housing for older people that wanting to downsize, and a complete lack of affordable housing. For that reason we really need as many local households and businesses as possible to respond to the surveys so that we can gauge properly where our housing supply is either already inadequate, or likely to fail in the future. It’s a really good chance to have your say!
There are three surveys:
for local residents
for non-residents, who are thinking of moving here
for businesses
There is one survey per household/business so its important that whoever fills out the survey reflects as accurately as possible on behalf of everyone.
As it’s a statistical exercise, the more surveys retuned means the more accurate the data is, and that all views are adequately expressed, not just the loudest voices.
The surveys will run from 6th May through to the 20th May so there’s not much time! All input will be massively appreciated.
