Update 10 November: As the Scrutiny Commission High Street Inquiry is a closed meeting, the session will be webcast for the public from 9:45 am on 11 November. Please go here to view the webcast.

The Council’s Sustainable Development and Transport Scrutiny Commission scrutinises Council performance and influences its policy and decision-making. It’s holding an inquiry in November to examine best practice in supporting local high streets and making them vibrant and diverse places to visit.

The Commission is keen to hear from people about their local high streets as evidence for the inquiry.

The Commission’s chair – Councillor Mark Bradshaw says:
“I’d welcome people’s views on the high streets they use, what they like about them and what can be done to improve them. The information you give will be invaluable to develop the Council’s action plan on retail for the city”.

Residents can give their views at www.surveymonkey.com/s/highstreetsurvey

There’s also a business survey at www.surveymonkey.com/s/highstreetbusiness

*There has already been a business survey recently carried out in Stokes Croft, Old Market, Christmas Steps/Colston Street, Old City, Park Street and East Street – information from these surveys, which include some of the same questions, will be taken into account.
