Cairngorms National Park Authority wants to hear your views on them
There is just one week left to have your say in the first Cairngorms National Park residents’ survey.
The online survey aims to hear from people who live and work in the strath and wider park about the issues that matter most to them and their communities.
A CNPA spokeswoman said: “We would like to thank everyone who has already taken the time to complete it and would encourage others to respond before it closes at midnight on Friday 31 January.
The survey, delivered by an independent research company, is split into four key sections:
• Questions about you, your attitudes and beliefs;
• Your experience of living in the national park;
• Your perceptions of the national park and what happens here; and
• Your perceptions of the work of the park authority and its partners.
The spokeswoman said: “By asking similar questions over the next few years, we hope to gain a better understanding of opinions and how they change over time.
“The survey also includes a set of demographic questions. These are optional; however, they will help us track changes to the resident population and reach a broad cross-section of people who live and work in the national park.
“Answers will only be used in relation to this survey and will not be shared with anyone else.”
As the survey focuses on specific activity within the national park – particularly the work of the CNPA and partners – some aspects of day-to-day life will not be covered.
These are services not within the powers of the park authority including health, social care, schools and road maintenance.
