Retail Survey
Kilkenny County Council have recently commissioned Nexus Planning to undertake a Retail Strategy to inform the preparation of the future Development Plan.
As part of this process, on-street shopper surveys were conducted in Kilkenny City, Thomastown and Callan in April. Surveys are now taking place in Castlecomer, Graiguenamanagh and Ferrybank. The surveys will be conducted by Ipsos MRBI. The information provided will help give the council a better understanding of how and where people like to shop and spend their leisure time.
The survey should take approximately seven minutes to complete.
The results of the survey will help to inform evidence for the Retail Strategy which will form part of the wider planning policy evidence base in regard to future retail needs across the County.
Residents can be assured that all information gained from the questions will remain confidential. Information from the survey will be handled according to the General Data Protection Regulation.
We would welcome people taking part in the survey and would greatly appreciate all responses however we note that anyone who may be approached is under no obligation to take part.
