Brentford Survey - What's It All About?

Your questions answered

What will be done with this survey?
The first aim of this survey is to create a snapshot report of Brentford, its people, businesses, groups and services, showing what is available and how to access it, but also what is missing. The report that will follow will be used to help inform Hounslow council of the needs of Brentford so that we stand a better chance of getting those needs written into Borough plans and eventually met. It will also ensure that where funding is available, we claim our fair share of it.

Is that all?
A report for the council, on its own, is not enough to justify asking you to spend 10-15 minutes filling this in. From the survey we will, with our project partners (Brentford High Street Steering Group, Brentford Community Network and Brentford Chamber of Commerce, along with others), look at the needs and wants highlighted by those who live, work or volunteer in Brentford. From this we will create an Action Plan that we can drive forward as a community.
 
What will be in the Action Plan?
That depends on what you write in the survey! We are asking everyone with any involvement in Brentford to fill in the survey so that we have as many different points of view as possible. With our project partners we would like to put these views into a United Vision of where we would like Brentford to be and an Action Plan of how to get there.

So the big plan is?
We want to create links between everyone in Brentford, to help promote businesses, charitable groups and services in a united manner, both to each other and to the outside world. We want to enable businesses and groups to work together and communicate with each other, as well as with residents and the local workforce in a way that benefits us all.
