Council launches town centre survey

COPELAND Council has launched a survey to gauge views on Whitehaven town centre.
The survey has been produced to help inform the council’s bid to the Government’s Future High Streets Fund that aims to revitalise and modernise town centres.
It asks the town centre’s residents, visitors and workers to inform the council about their use of the area, and to give their views on the key issues affecting it. It also asks respondents how they would like to use the town centre in the future.
